St Philip's is a rare example of fine English baroque. The Cathedral is elegantly decorated with four stained glass windows by Birmingham-born Pre-Raphaelite artist Edward Burne-Jones. Its dome is based on the central dome of the Santa Maria della Salute in Venice. The square in which it stands is currently being renovated, so access is difficult with the cathedral grounds cordoned off. However, try to not to let the building work outside disturb your quiet enjoyment of the interior of this fine building.
