St George's Anglican Cathedral, Georgetown, Guyana
St George's Anglican Cathedral is located near the promenade from City Hall in Georgetown, Guyana. The cathedral is 43,5 meters (132 feet) high and is the
second tallest wooden church on the world.
The present St George's Anglican Cathedral was built from 1889 to 1894 when it was also consecrated. The design for the wooden cathedral in Gothic style was made by Arthur Blomfield (later Sir Arthur Blomfield). The first St George's Church dates from 1811 but it soon became to small. A second St George's Church was built in 1842 which became the first cathedral in Georgetown. In 1877 was decided that the cathedral is unsafe for congregation and was afterwards dismantled. A temporary Pro-Cathedral was erected until the final construction of the present St George's Cathedral.
