St Saviour's Cathedral

The St Saviour's Cathedral is the heritage-listed cathedral church of the Anglican Diocese of Canberra.

The current dean is the Very Reverend Phillip Saunders. It was added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 20 April 2009.

In 1840 a simple brick church to the designs of a Sydney architect, James Hume, was erected. This Church of Saint Saviour was in the manner of English parish churches with a bold square western tower and a simple axiality complementing the Georgian town plan. Built by James Wilson, a convict arriving in the colony aboard the Lord Sidmouth in 1819, and his relation Henry Wilson, the foundation stones were obtained from the quarries known as Munoz's on Church Hill. James Wilson died during construction of the church after falling from the roof. A painting of the original church hangs in the narthex of the current cathedral.
