Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- KAW687London, UK2,555 contributionsWhile the architecture of the Catholic cathedral in Liverpool seems to invite you in the Anglican seems like a huge fortress determined to keep you out. Despite this the welcome inside was friendly with a central cafe and modern art. But it felt like whatever they try to make the space more inviting it would lose the battle with this red brick monstrosity. The best part of the cathedral is the lady chapel, we especially liked the windows honouring inspirational women. The shop had stuff to suit all budgets.Written 13 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- pferrelliSomerville, MA216 contributionsStopped by the St. Peter's Church Hall to see where John Lennon and Paul McCartney met in July 1957. While we did not go inside, there is a very nice plaque honoring this important event in music history.
This is across from the cemetery where Eleanor Rigby is buried so this a nice stop off if you are visiting there.Written 6 August 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Pub Monster NeilLiverpool, UK50,831 contributionsLocated in the graveyard of St Andrews Church is the resting place of William Mackenzie.
William Mackenzie made a fortune from building canals and working on railway systems throughout Europe, rich beyond belief, he was a prolific gambler, when he passed away he was laid to rest in this tomb in the shape of a pyramid, legend has it he was sat upright with a winning hand of playing cards in his hand ,this was to defeat the devil from taking its soul,if you're walking down Rodney Street it's most definitely well worth checking out.Written 4 February 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It opened in 1856 and continues to served as a cemetery.
A tranquil place, it is very well maintained and graves both olden and modern are kept lovely with flowers and other tributes being laid down.
Impressive monuments are there for some of the departed.Written 27 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We had long decided to take a look and today finally visited. The Church dates back to the 1840’s but was totally restored in 1957. It looks superb built of the wonderful local sandstone and is a listed building. The church was locked so we had a good look at the graveyard, some very interesting graves. Well worth a visit.Written 11 June 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
