Join me on this short tour of an old very popular Roman Catholic Church called "St. Peter's Cathedral Basilica" located downtown London, Ontario. This is an active church with amazing architecture which I wanted to capture on video. People drive from all over to see it just for that purpose. It was built between 1880 and 1885 with 13th Century Gothic Revival style architecture. The frist stained glass windows were added in 1889.
The interior design of the parish was completed in 1926 along with the addition of the pipe organ.
Pope John XXIII raised the status of the church in 1961 to a Basilica.
Renovations were added in 1968 which included replacing the existing alter and communion bars with a new marble altar and adding the cathedra in behind the altar which doubled the size of the sanctuary.
