St John's - Anglican Cathedral of St John the Baptist

Also dedicated to St John the Baptist, the Anglican cathedral on Church Hill (a short distance south of the basilica) is likewise a National Historic Site. The cathedral, the foundation stone of which was laid in 1849, was designed by Gilbert Scott and ranks among the finest examples of pure neo-Gothic architecture in North America. It also has fine interior furnishings.

After suffering serious damage in two major 19th c. fires the cathedral was not restored until 1905. Among other valuable treasures kept in the chapter-house is a gold communion vessel presented by William IV.
