Church of St. Agnes and St. Pancras, Liverpool

The Church of St. Agnes and St. Pancras is an active Anglican church in the diocese of Liverpool. Pevsner described it as "by far the most beautiful Victorian church of Liverpool...an epitome of Late Victorian nobility in church design." The church was built between 1883 and 1885; the architect was John Loughborough Pearson. The church is built in red brick with red sandstone dressings and a tile roof. Its plan consists of a four-bay nave with lean-to aisles and a clerestory, transepts at both ends, a south chapel with lean-to aisles and a short chancel with a canted polygonal apse. The windows are either lancets or have plate tracery. The interior is lined with Caen stone. The nave has arcades with round piers and balconies above. The high altar reredos and the apse carvings were carved by Nathaniel Hitch. The pulpit is carved in Italian marble and depicts the Apostles and Church Fathers. It is a Grade I listed building.
