The Building of Liverpool Cathedral - Hardcover

On Tuesday 19 July 1904 King Edward VII laid the foundation stone for one of the world's greatest church buildings, and without doubt the most important building project of the twentieth century. To mark the Centenary of this momentous event, a new, finely bound hardback edition was produced. Printed in a strictly limited edition of 500 copies, each hand-numbered and signed by the author and with the addition of top-and-tail bands, marker ribbon and real gold-leaf edging to the pages, this is sure to become a collectors item.

Peter Kennerley was educated and has spent most of his professional life in Liverpool as a teacher, a lecturer, a cathedral education officer and, in a small way, as a writer. Through his enthusiasm for children's books, he received the Eleanor Farjeon Award for distinguished services to children's books in 1977, and in 1986 his services to education were marked by award of the MBE. Reluctant retirement has provided more time for writing, and enabled this biography of Dean Dwelly to reach publication during Liverpool Cathedral's centenary year.
