The former St Mary of the Angels, founded in 1909. It was funded by Amy Elizabeth Imrie, a Catholic convert and nun who became Abbess of the Poor Clare Sisters and was heiress to the White Star Line shipping fortune. It is a Grade II Listed Building and was closed in 2001 by the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Liverpool but was prevented from stripping the church's listed Italian High Renaissance-style marble interior fixtures and fittings. Since 2006 it has become a rehearsal space for the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra.
