Another Pugin masterpiece sadly Augustus Welby passed away before work started but his son Edward Wellby Pugin was more than competent enough to carry out the work . It was completed in the Gothic Revival style in 1856 having taken a mere 4 years to build . Built within the main meander of the River Severn it is smaller than first planned but still quite lovely. The stained glass windows are by Hardman & co but also some by Margaret Agnes Rope the daughter of a local doctor who also became a Carmelite Nun in Suffolk and was quite inspirational . The side Chapels are lovely and the Crucifix hanging from the ceiling most impressive . Sadly the main alter was blocked off the day I visited for conservation work but u personally am pleased to have made the effort and got here . It is as are most Pugin works calming and quite beautiful in my eyes .

A beautiful small cathedral dating back to 1856. The cathedral is situated on the medieval town wall with lovely views across the river Severn. Inside it is very peaceful and tranquil with beautiful stained glass windows. Being located on the outskirts of the old town it is a fair walk from the town center, however there is a lovely Cafe (orchard Cafe) next door overlooking the cathedral for refreshments. Worthwhile a visit if in the area

Shrewsbury Cathedral has a sense of history and make you feel walking in that history when you step in. Very peaceful place not far from the river. Love the stain glass windows which creating an atmosphere. This Cathedral start in 1852 and finished in 1856 in four years. There is a cafe next in its yard and you can have a view around the old city wall. I like the entrance stairs and the outer view from the main door.

Shrewsbury Cathedral is a small, mid nineteenth century, Gothic revival church. It is a roman Catholic cathedral and holds regular services. The cathedral is smaller than some other churches in Shrewsbury, and off the beaten track but definitely worth visiting. Despite Shrewsbury not being a city, this church is still a cathedral as it is the seat of the Bishop of Shrewsbury.

A very atmospheric place where you can visit for quiet reflection and prayer, whereas it might be small the ambience and holistic feel of the build more than make up for it. You can certainly feel the Holy Spirit at work here. The stained glass is both humbling and inspiring. I would greatly recommend a visit.

Beautiful small cathedral. The staff explained to me why the cathedral is so small because of the sand beneath which is unable to support a large structure. The staff also gave me a stamp even though it doesn’t belong to the pilgrim passport which is nice.
