Cathedral of the Holy Trinity

31 Rue des Jardins, Québec, QC G1R 4L6

Neoclassical cathedral holding royal Georgian silver, sent across the Atlantic by a king who never visited.

This guide to the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity in Quebec City follows a gift from King George the Third, who paid for the building without ever crossing the Atlantic to see it finished. You'll hear why the king commissioned an exceptional set of Georgian silver for the altar, and how two military officers designed the first Anglican cathedral built outside the British Isles by borrowing the look of London's Saint Martin-in-the-Fields. Listen for the London-cast bells still ringing overhead and the royal pew reserved to this day.
