Southwark Cathedral

Southwark Cathedral is located on the south bank of the River Thames, near the London Bridge. The building is based on a Gothic structure, built in the XII-XV centuries. In the following centuries it was rebuilt, including the main nave is the result of a general renovation in the 19th century. You can see here a stained glass window dedicated to William Shakespeare and a monument commemorating Isabella Gilmore and victims of the so-called "Marchioness" disaster.

The first church was built here probably in the 11th century. From this period comes an entry in the Domesday Book, which was then the register of public land in the country. The modern temple, however, comes from a slightly later period. In the XII-XVI century there was the Augustinian monastery church, which was called Southwark Piory. With the dissolution of monasteries in England, the temple was handed over to the Anglican Church and received a new call - the Holy Savior.
