Christ Church Cathedral

Christ Church Cathedral, Anglican cathedral in Stanley, Falkland Islands

Christ Church Cathedral is an Anglican cathedral on Ross Road in Stanley, Falkland Islands, built in 1890–1892 to a design by Sir Arthur Blomfield using local stone and brick. It has a tower with a ring of five bells, 19th- and 20th-century stained glass windows, and a two-manual pipe organ built in Ireland. A whalebone arch made from the jaws of two blue whales stands in front of the building.

Holy Trinity Church stood on this Ross Road site until a peat slip destroyed part of Stanley in 1886. Sir Arthur Blomfield designed the replacement, built in local stone and brick in 1890–1892, and Bishop Waite Stirling consecrated it on 21 February 1892. The Legislative Assembly's Stanley constituency is still measured as everything within 3.5 miles of the spire.

The cathedral holds the Garter banner of Lord Shackleton, which hung in St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle, during his lifetime. On the south wall hangs a White Ensign flown by HMS Achilles at the Battle of the River Plate on 13 December 1939, with a wooden plaque recording it. Special services and church parades mark Liberation Day on 14 June, Remembrance Sunday and Battle Day on 8 December.

The cathedral can be visited while exploring Stanley, though opening hours may vary outside of service times. It's best to include it in a walking tour of the town and ask locally about access times.
