Cathedral Church of St. John the Evangelist
Cathedral Church of St. John the Evangelist, Catholic cathedral in Chapel Street, Salford, England
The Cathedral Church of St. John the Evangelist exhibits Gothic Revival architecture with a cruciform layout and detailed floor mosaics throughout the structure.
Matthew Ellison Hadfield designed the cathedral in 1844, incorporating elements from medieval churches including Howden Minster and Selby Abbey in Yorkshire.
The cathedral functions as the mother church of the Diocese of Salford, hosting regular masses, religious ceremonies, and community gatherings throughout the year.
Regular restoration work maintains the Grade II* listed building, with current renovations scheduled until 2024 to preserve its Victorian architectural elements.
The 240-foot spire, influenced by St. Mary Magdalene in Newark-on-Trent, stands as one of the highest points in the Manchester metropolitan area.
