The cathedral’s architect, Frederick Gibberd, was the winner of a worldwide design competition.
Construction began in 1962 and was completed in 1967.
William Mitchell designed the concrete relief below the bell, two front and two side doors.
Possibly, probably and inevitably the finest Modernist building in Britain.
It continues to surprise the surprised visitor on each successive visit.
A compelling structure which articulates the ever changing marine light, both inside and out – physically and spiritually.
Dizzy detail waiting to be discovered and rediscovered.
A decorative order of the highest order.
Treat your body and mind to a day out – or simply banish the last traces of Cartesian Dualism and immerse yourself, soon.
