About St Peter's Cathedral, Adelaide
In North Adelaide, within the South Australian capital, stands St Peter's Cathedral, the Anglican cathedral where the Archbishop of Adelaide has his seat. It takes up about 0.40 ha (1 acre) on the corner where Pennington Terrace meets King William Road, and it is described as a significant Adelaide landmark. Its south front echoes the Cathedral of Notre Dame and, also in Paris, the Saint-Jean-Baptiste de Belleville church, with an elaborate rose window over the main entrance that shows stories from the Bible and from South Australia.
Bishop Augustus Short engaged William Butterfield to design the cathedral, but the slow communication between England and Adelaide contributed to delay and disagreement. The plans were then bought and handed to Edward John Woods, of the Adelaide firm Wright, Woods and Hamilton, to be finished. Woods kept the general details Butterfield proposed, changed some materials and design, and gave many elements a French Gothic character. The foundation stone was laid on St Peter's Day 1869, and the towers and spires were dedicated on December 7, 1902. A ceremony on April 7, 1904 marked the completion of the external structure.
The interior is 61.9 m (203 ft) long and the nave is 18.0 m (59 ft) wide. At the top of the crosses on the spires, the cathedral rises 51.2 m (168 ft) from ground level. A ring of eight bells hangs in the western tower, cast in 1946 by the firm John Taylor & Co, of Loughborough in England. Among rings of eight bells, none in the Southern Hemisphere is heavier, and worldwide only Sherborne Abbey in England has a heavier one.
