Giles Gilbert Scott is best known these days by the British public either for his K2 and K6 red telephone boxes (now rapidly vanishing from the English scene) or for his two London power stations on the River Thames at Chelsea and at Bankside in Southwark, the latter now transformed into Tate Modern. His major ecclesiastical work was the magnificent Liverpool Anglican Cathedral which towers over the city. He was originally awarded the contract as a young man in 1903 together with George Frederick Bodley. The combination was an unhappy one and Scott took over the task on his own on the death of Bodley four years later. This edifice, being non-Catholic, however, falls outside the scope of this particular article.
