Inscription
Christ Church Cathedral, begun in 1845, is one of the best and earliest examples of the Gothic Revival in Canada. Its stone walls, crossing tower and picturesque massing, echoing the internal parts of the church, were typical of this style. The design conforms to the aims of the Ecclesiological Society, an Anglican reform movement which sought a return to the mediaeval church both in worship and in building. Modelled after a 14th-century church in Norfolk, the plans were drawn by the English architect Frank Wills, at the request of John Medley, Bishop of Fredericton and a member of the Society.
Par sa structure de pierre, sa flèche en croisée et ses sculptures qui en rappellent l'ornementation intérieure, cette église-cathédrale est un de plus anciens et des plus beaux exemples du style néo-gothique au Canada. Construite sur le modèle d'une église du Norfolk du XIVe siècle, elle répondait à l'idéal de l'Ecclesiological Society, mouvement réformiste de l'Église anglicane qui prônait le retour à l'architecture comme au culte du moyen âge. L'architecte anglais Frank Wills
en a fait les plans à la demande de l'évêque de Fredericton John Medley, qui était membre de la société.
