The building was designed by Augustus Pugin, who also worked on the design of the House of Commons
A city cathedral designed by one of Victorian Britain's best-known architects is to be restored, thanks to a Lottery Heritage Fund grant.
The cathedral's trustees said they had been awarded an initial £277,558, plus a potential further £524,858 for a restoration project.The restoration of the grade II* listed Catholic cathedral will see three chapels at the east end of the building brought back to what conservators believe was Pugin's original vision.
Through his works, publications and close collaboration with the architect Sir Charles Barry in the design of the Houses of Parliament and the Elizabeth Tower, home of Big Ben, Pugin worked to bring the Middle Ages to life.
