St Mary of the Angels, Liverpool, England

St Mary of the Angels, Liverpool, England

St. Mary of the Angels is a Roman Catholic church in Everton, Liverpool built in 1907. It has magnificent interiors of marble, imported to bring Rome to Liverpool. It was built by Amy Imrie, a Poor Clare Sister and heiress to the White Star Line shipping fortune.

The building is a Grade II Listed Building; its interiors are also listed. The Liverpool Roman Catholic Archdiocese, which shut the church in Fox Street, in 2001, insists it will never reopen. However it was prevented by Liverpool City Council in 2002 from stripping its Italian High Renaissance-style interior fixtures and fittings.
