Overview

Liverpool is a city of amazing cultural, ethnic, and religious diversity with almost every religious faith and individual denomination represented. Since the late 17th century, mercantile development in Liverpool attracted immigrants of all races and faiths; by 1900, all of the faith groups had made their mark on the architecture of the city, often with buildings of major architectural and historical significance. There are also two cathedrals. All of these religious buildings are under pressure due to dwindling congregations, changing and extended use, demographic change and problems of ageing building stock. Yet, these places of worship continue to be important architectural landmarks and much-loved cultural and community assets.
