The Church of St Clare is on the corner of Arundel Avenue and York Avenue in the Sefton Park area of Liverpool, Merseyside, England. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building,[1] and is an active Roman Catholic parish church in the Archdiocese of Liverpool and the Pastoral Area of Liverpool South.[2] It is the only Grade I listed Roman Catholic church in the Archdiocese of Liverpool.[3] Sharples and Pollard consider it to be "one of the most imaginative churches of its date in the country".[4]
