St David's Cathedral (Hobart)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Cathedral Church of St David, Hobart, is the principal Anglican church in Tasmania. The dean (as of February 2006) is the Very Reverend Lindsay Stoddart.
St David's Cathedral was built between 1868 and 1936[1] and is in the Gothic Revival style. The original design was by the English architect G.F.Bradley.[2] There are stones in the museum dating from the sixth century. There are also very old flags dating from the time when Tasmania stopped being a convict settlement and there are also stained glass windows depicting saints, knights, kings and biblical characters. Along the walls there are small memorial plaques dedicated to deceased members.
The cathedral's distinctive features also include an arcaded entrance with a large west window[3] and buttressed turrets; a square tower made of Oatlands stone; and a close on the southern side with old trees.[4]Located at the corner of Macquarie and Murray Streets, the building is on the Register of the National Estate.[5]
