Shot this while on a day out with pal and fellow bubbler Steve Smith, this was taken in the Lady chapel which is inside the Anglican Liverpool Cathedral merseyside.

THE LADY CHAPEL

The first part of the Cathedral to be completed and consecrated for worship was the Lady Chapel. The style of this lovely Chapel, which stands at the far south east corner of the Cathedral, is more elaborate than the main body of the Cathedral in a way which reflects its date and the influence of G F Bodley who was, at that time, working with the Cathedral architect.
In a band of ornately carved lettering running right around the walls are the famous words from St. John’s Gospel. “God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.” (Ch 3. V. 16)
A beautiful 15th Century statue of the Virgin Mary by Giovanni Della Robbia is a focus for devotion in the sanctuary of the Chapel. A recent donation has enabled the Chapter to commission a complementary ‘babe in swaddling clothes’ as the focus for Mary’s gaze and the two pieces can now be seen together. There is a strong sense of tranquillity in the Chapel, which encourages visitors to sit for a short time of quietness, prayer or reflective contemplation.
