Guildford Cathedral

Guildford Cathedral is the mother church of the Diocese of Guildford, covering 500 square miles of Surrey, north east Hampshire, the London Borough of Kingston and a part of West Sussex. With a seating capacity of 1000, the Cathedral provides both focus and resource for the whole community, a venue for concerts, art and education, a place of pilgrimage, as well as stillness, prayer and daily choral worship.

The building of Guildford Cathedral is a story of success against the odds. Begun in 1936 to a design by Sir Edward Maufe, and completed in 1961, it retains its unique position as the only new Anglican Cathedral to be built in the South of England since the Reformation.
