Shropshire does not have an Anglican Cathedral so Shrewsbury’s Catholic Cathedral – more properly known as “The Cathedral Church of Our Lady Help of Christians and St. Peter of Alcantra” holds the county honour alone. The Cathedral was originally to have been designed by A.W.N Pugin but his death in 1852 commuted the job to his eldest son E.W. Pugin (1834-75). The Cathedral was completed in 1856 – the intended spired bell-tower was aborted when the foundations were found to run through a strata of sand. Hardmans provided the stained glass with later windows being added by Margaret Agnes Rope.
