Cathedrals

What was the 1st English Cathedral to be built on classical lines since St. Pauls Cathedral?

Thanks for any help

It may have been Truro Cathedral. Which I think was built in 1800 and something. I believe it was the 1st built since St Pauls but I am not sure about the style. Hope that is some help. :-)

Just found this -

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liverpool_Cathedr al - so it could have been Liverpool. Acually built after Truro but it looks like Truro was built in Gothic style.

I wuld agree with JimJools that it is the Liverpool Anglican cathedral, commenced at the start of the last century and finally finished towards the end.

The problem with this question is the words ' classical lines' .......... what does this mean?

St Paul's Cathedral - style of architecture is 'Late Renaissance to Baroque', but often desribed as 'neo-classical architecture!

Both Truro and Liverpool (Anglican) were built in the Gothic Revival architecture style .....

Truro was the first .... first section consecrated in 1887
