Blackburn's Gothic-style, 19th-century cathedral in the centre of town.
Blackburn Cathedral, officially known as the Cathedral Church of Saint Mary the Virgin with Saint Paul, is a Church of England cathedral situated in Blackburn, Lancashire, England. The site on which the cathedral stands has been home to a parish church for over a thousand years, and the first stone church was built there in Norman times, though the building was completely rebuilt in the 19th century. In 1926, the church was raised to cathedral status with the creation of the Diocese of Blackburn leading to a major programme of enlargement and enrichment.
