Guildford Cathedral

Guildford Cathedral is the cathedral church of the Diocese of Guildford, located on Stag Hill on the outskirts of Guildford in Surrey, adjacent to the University of Surrey campus. Construction of the cathedral began in 1936 to a design by Edward Maufe in a simplified Gothic style, but work was suspended during the Second World War and the building was not consecrated until 1961. Built of handmade brick with a distinctive silhouette that can be seen from a wide area of the surrounding Surrey Hills, the cathedral is one of only two twentieth-century Anglican cathedrals to be purpose-built in England. It was used as a filming location for the 1976 horror film The Omen.
