About St Matthew's

Truro Cathedral — the Cathedral Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary — was the first new cathedral built in England since St Paul's Cathedral in London, consecrated in 1887. Designed by John Loughborough Pearson in the Early English Gothic style, its three spires are a landmark of the Cornish city of Truro. The cathedral incorporated the old parish church of St Mary's into its south aisle.
