Brentwood Cathedral began in 1861 as a parish church built in a Gothic style.

This relatively small building was raised to cathedral status in 1917.

Between 1989 and 1991 the church was enlarged in an Italianate classical style by the Driehaus Prize winner Quinlan Terry, replacing an earlier extension made in 1974.
