Liverpool has two cathedrals - the Anglican cathedral and the Roman Catholic Cathedral. Because of its shape, and because of a large Catholic Irish immigrant population in Liverpool, the Roman Catholic cathedral is affectionately known by the locals as 'Paddy's Wigwam', although its official title is the 'Metropolitan Cathedral of Liverpool'. The mammoth Anglican cathedral is by far the larest cathedral in the UK, and the largest Anglican church worldwide, even though the present cathedral is a fraction of its originally intended size. Neither cathedral is dedicated to a saint solely; The Roman Catholic cathedral is dedicated to Christ the King, and the Anglican Cathderal is dedicated to Christ and the Blessed Virgin Mary. It is very apt that the cathedrals are at both ends of the same street - the very appropriately named Hope Street.
