The Liverpool Regional Group of the Victorian Society welcomes members, followers and the plain curious to a visit to two Grade One listed Victorian Churches, The Unitarian and St Agnes, located near to each other in the Sefton Park area of Liverpool. The Shell Guide to English Churches describes the former as ‘probably the most lavish and artistically accomplished Unitarian church in England’. The second building we will visit is St Agnes. Pevsner describes it as ‘by far the most beautiful Victorian Church of Liverpool… an epitome of Late Victorian Nobility in church design’.
In between the tours of these two buildings, we will have a pre-Christmas get-together in the Unitarian Great Hall (pictured above), where seasonal light Refreshments will be provided.
