 The old parish church of St Anne by Francis Hiorne of 1776 had continued in use, up until 31 December 1903, while the new cathedral was constructed around it; the old church was then demolished.The Good Samaritan window, to be seen in the sanctuary, is the only feature of the old church to be retained in the cathedral.Initially, only the nave of the cathedral was built, and this was consecrated on 2 June 1904.
