Blackburn Cathedral, Anglican cathedral in Blackburn, England
The Gothic Revival cathedral features a distinctive lantern tower with 56 panes of colored glass and an aluminum spire reaching toward the sky.
The site has maintained continuous Christian worship for over 1500 years, with the current structure receiving cathedral status in 1926 after serving as a parish church.
The north transept preserves eight medieval misericords from the 15th century, originally belonging to Whalley Abbey, representing historical Lancashire craftsmanship.
The Cathedral Court extension, completed in 2016, provides modern facilities for conferences, exhibitions, and community gatherings in the center of Blackburn.
In 2021, the cathedral's crypt transformed into a major vaccination center, supporting the local community during the COVID-19 pandemic.
