LiverPool

The city is built across a ridge of hills rising up to a height of around 230 feet (70 metres) above sea-level at Everton Hill. It is a metropolitan borough in Merseyside, England, along the eastern side of the Mersey Estuary. With a population of 816,000, the city has varied cultural heritage and is even known as cultural centre.

The city attracts lots of tourists in a year.In 2004 Liverpool's waterfront was declared as a UNESCO World Heritage site, reflecting the city's importance in the development of the world's trading system and dock technology.

The thousands of migrants and sailors passing through Liverpool resulted in a religious diversity that is still apparent today. This is reflected in the equally diverse collection of religious buildings, and two Christian cathedrals.

Liverpool Anglican Cathedral
Liverpool Cathedral is the Anglican cathedral of Liverpool, England; it is built on St James Mount, in the centre of the city. Its official name is the Cathedral Church of Christ in Liverpool.

Liverpool Cathedral occupies a total area of 9,600 square metres and was built mainly of sandstone quarried from the Liverpool suburb of Woolton. The cathedral's belltower is one of the tallest in the world (see List of tallest churches), rising to a height of 100 metres.It houses the highest (66 metres) and heaviest (31 tonnes) ringing peal of bells in the world. One of the cathedral's stained glass windows shows the artisans who designed and built it — Bodley and Scott are both shown, sitting together.

At 219 ft above floor level, the bells of Liverpool Cathedral are the highest and heaviest ringing peal in the world. There are 13 bells, named the Bartlett bells after Thomas Bartlett.
