Buttresses

NOTES: This building comprises three independent types of structure: an in-situ reinforced concrete frame which holds together the main body of the cathedral; the sixteen load-bearing brick or concrete perimeter buildings, and the flat slab of the outdoor podium supported by concrete columns of load-bearing brick walls.

NOTES: In 1930 Sir Edwin Lutyens was commissioned to design the second Roman Catholic cathedral to contrast with the Gothic Revival Anglican cathedral of Giles Gilbert Scott being erected on the other end of Hope Street from 1904. Construction on Lutyens's massive structure began in 1933 but was suspended in 1941 due to wartime restrictions. Work recommenced on the crypt in 1956 and it was completed in 1958. Thereafter Lutyens's design was considered onerously expensive and was abandoned with only the crypt complete.

NOTES: This Norman church dates from the 12th century and has an unaltered ground plan of nave, chancel and central tower, thus retaining most of its original characteristics.

NOTES: This cruciform church is essentially Norman in style. An Early English upper stage was added to saddleback west tower when the church was largely rebuilt in the 1470s following a fire. The interior was extensively reburbished by the Gothic Revival architect, Francis Charles Eden, c.1925.

NOTES: This church is mainly 14th century and was completed in the 15th century.
