History
The cathedral was built on the site of an older Dominican monastery and was one of the first to be built in Britain since the Reformation (both St. Columb's in Derry and St. Paul's in London are older, having been consecrated in 1633 and 1710 respectively); it was consecrated in 1850. It was designed by the English architect William Butterfield.
Former Provosts
Former provosts of the cathedral include the Very Rev. Edward Bowles Knottesford-Fortescue; he became Provost of St Ninian’s Cathedral in 1851 but resigned in 1871 when he converted to Roman Catholicism.
