Guildford Cathedral dominates the town from its imposing position on Stag Hill. Consecrated in 1961 it was designed by Edward Maufe and is floodlit to spectacular effect at night. Most of all it deserves to be viewed from the inside where the honey coloured stone and Italian marble floors combine with soaring arches giving an impression of lightness, space and tranquillity.
From its commanding hilltop position, Guildford Cathedral is an imposing landmark. From road and rail by day, and by night, its modern splendour can be admired from miles around.
