The gothic St Paul's Cathedral, a little way along from the Victoria
Memorial, was erected by Major W.N. Forbes in 1847. Measuring 75m by
24m, its iron-trussed roof was then the longest span in existence. The
most outstanding of the many well-preserved memorials and plaques to
long-perish imperialist is the stained glass of west window by Sir Edwar
Burne Jones in 1880 to honour Lord Mayo.
