Plymouth Cathedral, Gothic Revival Catholic cathedral in Plymouth, England.
The Cathedral Church of Saint Mary and Saint Boniface is a Gothic Revival religious building in Plymouth with a spire rising about 61 meters and forming a notable part of the city's outline. The structure displays characteristic features of 19th-century Gothic Revival design with pointed arches and stone details.
Construction started in 1856 under architects Joseph and Charles Hansom and finished in 1858 as the mother church for Cornwall, Devon, and Dorset. The completion gave the region a new religious center during the mid-19th century.
The cathedral holds strong ties to the naval community and regularly hosts services for military personnel stationed at the nearby port. This connection shapes how the building functions as a spiritual center for both civilians and serving sailors.
The building is located on Wyndham Street West and welcomes visitors for services throughout the week and on Sundays. It is recommended to check opening times before visiting, especially if planning to attend main services.
The building received Grade II listed status in 1975, gaining official recognition for its architectural value. This classification highlights its importance in 19th-century English architectural history.
