St Mary’s Cathedral is more than 150 years old. It is a beautiful building but costs a huge amount of money to maintain. Over the past 20 years, a considerable amount of restoration work has been carried out, including major work on both the interior & exterior of the Church, culminating in 2019 in significant repair work being performed on the roof.
