About Cathedral Church of Saint Philip

Built by Thomas Archer between 1709 and 1715 in English Baroque style, it became a cathedral in 1905 when the diocese was created. The cathedral is internationally famous for its four large stained-glass windows by Edward Burne-Jones, made by William Morris & Co between 1885 and 1897 — among the finest examples of Pre-Raphaelite stained glass in the world.
