The Oratory, Liverpool

The Oratory stands to the north of Liverpool Anglican Cathedral in Merseyside, England.

It was originally the mortuary chapel to St James Cemetery, and houses a collection of 19th-century sculpture and important funeral monuments as part of the Walker Art Gallery.

The Oratory was built in 1829, and used for funeral services before burials in the adjacent cemetery.

In 1986 it came under the care of National Museums Liverpool, and is used to contain a collection of sculptures and statues.
