Peel Cathedral

Peel Cathedral is an Anglican cathedral in this coastal town featuring Victorian architectural details and traditional ecclesiastical designs throughout its stone structure. The building combines classical proportions with decorative elements typical of 19th-century church architecture.

The building was originally constructed between 1879 and 1884 as a parish church and received cathedral status in 1980 through an Act of Tynwald. This elevation marked a turning point in its religious significance for the island.

The interior holds silver pieces commissioned from Archibald Knox and murals created by John Nicholson. These works shape how the space feels and connect visitors to local artistic traditions.

You can join guided tours led by wardens and access facilities designed for people with disabilities. A kitchenette is available where you can prepare hot drinks.

The cathedral gardens display the progression of Christianity on the island from the fifth century to today through monuments and plantings. This chronological arrangement makes the religious history visible as you walk through.
