Chapel of Saint Patrick, Toxteth
St Patrick's Chapel on Park Place is a neoclassical chapel designed by John Slater and built between 1821 and 1827; it was the first Roman Catholic church erected in Toxteth. A statue of St Patrick stands on plinth between central 1st floor windows, which are blind. This figure originally came from the St Patrick Insurance Company in Dublin, and was presented to the church when the company closed. At the front of the church, there is also a memorial to ten Catholic priests who died whilst continuing to work in the plague-ravaged communities.
The church is a grade II* listed building (English Heritage Building ID: 359219
Link British Listed Buildings).
