Building
This magnificent building was designed by Thomas Archer and completed in 1715, retaining some fine Georgian features including its gallery. The Victorians added a Chancel with three huge Burne-Jones windows and one at the West end.  It became a Cathedral in 1905 when the Diocese of Birmingham was created.
