St. Paul's Cathedral in London, Ontario, Canada, is the seat of the Diocese of Huron of the Anglican Church of Canada. It was designed in the Gothic revival style by William Thomas and built between 1844 and 1846, replacing the previous church, which was built in 1834 and burned down in 1844. It is the oldest church in the city.{{cite sign|url=http://www.heritagefdn.on.ca/userfiles/HTML/nts_1_7356_1.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070927034531/http://www.heritagefdn.on.ca/userfiles/HTML/nts_1_7356_1.html|archive-date=2007-09-27|title=St. Paul's Cathedral 1846|author=The Ontario Heritage Foundation|location=On the grounds of the cathedral, Richmond Street and Queens Avenue, London|year=1846|publisher=Queen's Printer for Ontario, 2004}} Sculptors John Cochrane and Brothers undertook the work on the cathedral's interior.[http://www.biographi.ca/en/bio/cochrane_john_7E.html John Cochrane] – Dictionary of Canadian Biography
