Project Info
St. Andrew’s Chapel was built in Gothic Revival Perpendicular style in 1814 – 1817 by the architect James Gillespie.
The purpose of the proposed works was twofold: Firstly, the fabric of the existing Cathedral building required conservation and repair to ensure its long-term integrity for the future. Secondly, the Cathedral was not large enough to fulfil its intended purpose as the principal church of the Archdiocese of Glasgow and the seat of its Archbishop.
