The cathedral site has been home to a church for over a thousand years. The first stone church was built here in Norman times. With the creation of the diocese of Blackburn in 1926 the parish church was raised to cathedral status. The original church was built in 1826. It now forms the cathedral nave and with the lantern tower added in 1967 the building was finally completed in 1977.
