Architectural Guide to Liverpool : Joseph Sharples
“One of the most imaginative churches of its date
in the country”
Victorian Churches : RIBA
“Although an early work of its architect (built 1888-90),
St Clare's is one of his masterpieces and shows him breaking away
from the Gothic conventions towards his own forthright and individual style.”
Buildings of S. Lancashire : Sir Nicholas Pevsner
“ St Clare's Arundel Avenue. By Stokes and
a
memorable building. The development in the three years from
Pearson’s St Agnes (Ullet Road) is striking. Stokes handles his Gothic
with much more individuality, so that the ensemble is far away from any
period precedent.”
The Shell Guide to English Parish Churches : Robert Harbison
(This area) - A haven of interesting Victorian churches.
Important works by Pearson and Leonard Stokes, and probably the most lavish
and artistically accomplished Unitarian church in England. Stoke’s St
Clare's is the most exciting.”
Catholic Churches since 1623 : Brian Little
“St Clare's is a true masterpiece."
