“St George’s is not just a building: it is a house of prayer and a place of worship for a wide and varied congregation. Our cathedral offers Mass, opportunities for confession, a place for quiet prayer, a venue for joyful celebration, and comfort for those who grieve.”
Canon Michael Branch Dean's Welcome
The original cathedral building was designed by the great Victorian architect Augustus Pugin, and was considered the most important Catholic Church in England when it was built.
The History
In 1839 Fr Thomas Doyle bought part of St. George’s Fields, a site owned by the City of London, and engaged Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin as architect to design a new church.
