Description
Truro Cathedral was in the 1880s, the first 'new' cathedral to be built in Britain for 800 years since Salisbury Cathedral was started in 1220.
Designed by John Loughborough Pearson for the newly created Diocese of Truro, the new cathedral was built on the site of an existing Tudor parish church dedicated to St Mary, in the centre of Truro. It was assumed that the existing church would be demolished and a new cathedral raised on the site, however, Pearson surprised everyone by designing a 'church within a church' and the original church can be seen in the foreground of this photograph.
Most of the existing church was torn down in 1880, but Pearson retained the south aisle to serve as the parish church and incorporated the old church seamlessly into the new building. The old church is now St Mary's Aisle, with a wagon roof design decorated with bosses commemorating local people and others with a Cornish connection.
The Cathedral's 250ft high main spire dominates the only city in Cornwall. The three spires of this impressive cathedral can be seen for miles around and the amazing architecture dominates the city skyline, making it one of the most iconic buildings in Cornwall.
