Chad's Cathedral a gothic brick built structure near the city centre
just up from Snow Hill Station. It is a Catholic Cathedral and was
built in 1839 by Augustus Pugin the architect who is known for his
building of the House of Parliament in London. It is one of his
important works. This was the first Roman Catholic church to be built
in the UK since the Reformation.
Features 19th century stained galss and a 16th century Flemish pulpit.
The statue of the Virgin Mary and the largest new manual organ in the
UK is also of notable interest. The building looks a little forlorn and
out of place surrounded by busy roads and the rush of traffic.
