Building
The present cathedral was designed by Archibald Simpson and opened in 1817. It had galleries all round and a small apse at the East End. G E Street designed a Choir and Chancel which were added in 1880. Work on extending and beautifying the building, to the design of Ninian Comper, began in 1938 and was completed after the War.
