	Birmingham
		The cathedral and bishop's house had been erected in Bishop Walsh's vicariate (21 June, 1840) from designs drawn by Augustus Welby Pugin, the foremost promoter of the revival of Gothic architecture, who, through the munificence of John, 16th Earl of Shrewsbury, adorned the diocese with many ecclesiastical buildings.
		On 24 June, 1852, the cathedral chapter, consisting of a provost and ten canons, was duly erected, to which three honorary canons have since been added.
		Mention, too, must be made of John Hardman of Birmingham, whose firm has done so much in promoting ecclesiastical art, notably stained-glass and metal work, and whose benefactions to the cathedral choir have enabled it to reach a standard of excellence in church music which places it first among Catholic choirs.

	Bob Speel's website: Introduction to Victorian Birmingham
		Birmingham is England’s second city, and is of great significance to these pages, both in terms of the Victorian art to see there, and the many artists who lived or were trained there.
		Architecturally, time has been unkind to Birmingham, with some of the most brutal of all road building and destruction of the 1960s destroying much that was good.
		Somewhat more northerly is the Victorian and rather excellent Roman Catholic Cathedral by no less than Pugin — the first new Cathedral of the genre for some hundreds of years, but because of its youth, effectively bare of monuments.
