St Chad's Cathedral
St Chad's Cathedral, Catholic cathedral in Birmingham, England
The Gothic Revival structure exhibits red brick construction with tall spires, lancet windows, and ornate stone tracery throughout its exterior and interior design.
Augustus Welby Pugin completed the construction of St Chad's Cathedral in 1841, marking the first Catholic cathedral built in England after the Reformation period.
The cathedral maintains a professional choir performing liturgical music and houses significant religious artifacts including the relics of Saint Chad above its altar.
The cathedral conducts daily services, offers guided tours, and maintains regular opening hours for visitors near Birmingham Snow Hill railway station.
During World War II, burst heating pipes extinguished an incendiary bomb that fell through the cathedral roof, leading to a thanksgiving tablet installation.
