The cathedral was built on the site of an older Dominican monastery and was one of the first to be built in Britain since the Reformation (Both St. Columb's in Derry and St. Paul's are older, being consecrated in 1633 and 1710 respectively), being consecrated in 1850. It was designed by the English architect William Butterfield.
