ROOF TILE PROGRESS

Thanks to the support of many donors, our team began the last phase of restoration in 2021.

Our Roof

Beginning in 2015, the Archdiocese started much-needed roof repairs to keep St Mary's Cathedral intact. Over the past few years, the Roof Restoration team worked hard to replace the old, weathered tiles with new slate.

These tiles are imported from Bangor, Wales, and are designed especially to weather our vast hot and cool temperatures. They are a 'Heather Blue' and a new Cwt-Y-Bugail 'Grey' colour, which provides an attractive shine to our Cathedral’s roof. This complements the diamond pattern resulting from the tiles' layout, continuing the original roof’s design from the 1800s.
