Truro Cathedral, The Cathedral of the Blessed Virgin Mary is located on St. Mary’s Street in the buzzing Cornish city of Truro.

Designed by the John Loughborough Pearson, this Anglican cathedral was built between the years of 1880 and 1910 and followed a Gothic Revival architectural theme, giving it its unusual triple-spire construction.
