1. Résumé historique

En 1856, une souscription permet la mise en chantier de la construction d'une église. Un an plus tard, les plans sont établis sous la direction du révérend Richard Brown. Le 29 avril 1857, la première pierre de l'église est posée par Alexander Goss, l'évêque de Liverpool, et le 4 octobre 1859, l'église est consacrée et dédiée à saint Pierre, prince des apôtres Élevé au statut de cathédrale pour le diocèse catholique romain de Lancaster en 1924, ce bel édifice néogothique est conçu par Edward Graham Paley de Lancaster. En 1909, pour le jubilé d'or, un baptistère est ajouté sur le côté de la cathédrale qui ajoute un beau triptyque au-dessus de l'autel. La cathédrale est entièrement restaurée, décorée et organisée en 1995, et le nouvel autel consacré à l'anniversaire de la première consécration.
