St John the Baptist Cathedral, Catholic cathedral in Norwich, England
The cathedral features Gothic Revival architecture with a 38-meter tower, constructed from light-colored Caen stone and decorated with pointed arches and ribbed vaults.
Henry Fitzalan-Howard, 15th Duke of Norfolk, provided funding for the construction of this religious edifice between 1882 and 1910 as gratitude for his marriage.
The cathedral functions as the mother church of East Anglia Diocese, conducting regular religious services and maintaining a collection of 3,000 religious publications.
Located on Earlham Road, the cathedral includes the Narthex visitor center with an education gallery, shop, refectory, function hall, and community garden.
The structure marked the transformation of Norwich City Gaol site into a religious center, later becoming the first Catholic cathedral in this region in 1976.
