//This is part of the Hangover city, Liverpool, uk setting// = = =Cathedral Church of Christ in Liverpool= The home of the Bishop of Liverpool (That’s the anglican one - the Catholic one is an archbishop, try not to get confused!) The Cathedral dominates Liverpool's sky line; it manages to be the longest cathedral in the world (198ms) and one of the tallest church towers at a shade over 100m.

Strangly standing on the other side of the river the Catholic and Anglican cathedrals appear to be the same hight - whilst “paddy’s wigwam” is only 85m tall. However it was built at the top of the hill, rather than half way up - So as Father MacKenzie says “God did half the work for us.”

Whilst the Catholic cathedral was built in only 5 years, the Anglican took much longer. The foundation stone was laid in 1901, and by 1910 the lady chapel was consecrated and in use. However, due to redesigns, funding problems and two world wars getting in the way, it was 1978 before the building was actually considered complete- some 18 years after the architect died- and even then there were some carvings on the interior design still outstanding.

It is constructed mostly from locally quarries Sand stone, and there is a deep ‘hole’ at the back of the building with provided some of the stone in the early stages of the project. This is now the Cathedral gardens and graveyard and contains the tombs and crypts for may of the ‘great and the good’ families of Liverpool.The graveyard also contains Stephen Allourd - the cities last remaining Black Court Vampire.
