St Mary's Cathedral, consecrated in 1879, is one of the masterpieces of the great Victorian Gothic architect Sir Gilbert Scott. The Cathedral buildings also include work by his son John Oldrid Scott and Sir Robert Lorimer.
In addition to the architecture, the artistic highlights include the magnificent Song School murals by Phoebe Anna Traquair, Lorimer's Rood Cross (part of the National War Memorial), A.E. Borthwick's haunting and powerful depiction of the Cathedral interior, The Presence, and, most recently, a dazzlingly colourful stained-glass window by Sir Eduardo Paolozzi.
