Chapter Hall, St Mary's Cathedral
Chapter Hall, also known as Chapter House, is located along St Marys Road, adjacent to St Mary's Cathedral. It was designed by Augustus Welby Pugin in the Gothic architectural style and built between 1843 and 1845. It was initially used as a school but was converted to a chapter hall in 1910, in which large meetings are held.
