The Cathedral has a long and interesting history, told in detail in the booklet available in the Cathedral. A more detailed history was written in 1949 by Donald Simpson, and extra pages were added in 1978 and 1988. This is a bound photocopy of which only fifteen copies were made, but the National Archives have made available a searchable scan of the volume, which you can access here.

The prolific colonial architect Peter Harrison drew up a plan in 1740, which you can see here. Construction did not begin for another eighty years; and did not follow the plan in every detail.
