Southern Culture
Did You Know?
Guildford Cathedral
Guildford Cathedral is the only cathedral in Southern England built on a new site since the Reformation. The Cathedral is built from bricks made from the clay of Stag Hill itself, on which the cathedral stands. It was started in 1933, but not completed until 1961 because of the 2nd World War.
