Building

The original building, dating back to 1043, was destroyed by enemy action in 1940. The new building, designed by Basil Spence to link with the ruins of the old, was consecrated in 1962. Amongst many notable features are the Graham Sutherland tapestry of 'Christ the King' dominating the East End, John Piper's Bapistery window, producing startling coloured light, and Epstein's St Michael & the Devil, guarding the Cathedral steps.
