Church of St Vincent de Paul, Liverpool

Constructed in stone, in the style of the 13th century, the church has slate roofs. Its plan consists of a six-bay nave with a clerestory, north and south aisles, and a two-bay chancel with north and south chapels.[2] On the west gable is a delicate open timber bellcote, which is described in the Pevsner Architectural Guide as the "most striking" external feature of the church.[3] The west front has a pair of arched doorways under a larger arch containing a roundel. Above this is an eight-light window. The west front is flanked by large buttresses rising higher than the eaves. Along the sides of the clerestory are four-light windows. On the sides of the chancel are dormers, and the east window has nine lights.[2]

Inside the church the five-bay arcades are carried on octagonal piers with capitals deeply carved with foliage.[3] There are also arcades between the chancel and the chapels. The south aisle contains confessionals. There are marble altars in the chancel and the chapels, each with a reredos.[2] The reredos in the chancel was designed by Pugin in 1867; it is in richly carved alabaster, and contains statues in niches.[3] In each chapel are three statues in canopied niches. Stretching across the whole church is a continuous marble altar rail.[2] The east window contains stained glass dating from 1925.[3]
