 Gabion: Return of the Goths: the last Anglican cathedral is nearly finished. And built to last 1,000 years.
The architect for the cathedral from the 1940s until his death in 1994 was Stephen Dykes Bower, one of a small handful of architects to carry the flame of the 19th century Gothic Revival as if modernism had never happened.
Warwick Pethers, as it happens, is a youngish designer, but trained under Dykes Bower in the last years of his life, so the tradition continues.
"Dykes Bower's concept was to make a place that looks bigger and more mysterious by having spaces beyond spaces - to create spatial ambiguity at the limits of the building," he says.

Nobody wants to be seen to be warming their hands at the funeral pyre of carriage H. But the shyness of the doomsayers, now that they're in government, is a tragic sight.
Dykes, like many in his party and, according to contemporary opinion polls, most of the country, had opposed railway privatisation.
In the Guardian, Dykes wrote that it had always been "fascinating to observe that new Labour ministers have rarely sought to make political capital out of the defeated Tories' discomfiture over such a controversial and unpopular piece of legislation".
