St. George's Cathedral in Georgetown, Guyana
St. George's Cathedral is an Anglican cathedral in Georgetown, Guyana. The wooden church reaches a height of 43.5 metres (143 ft). It is the seat of the Bishop of Guyana.
St. George's was designed by Sir Arthur Blomfield and opened on 24 August 1892. The building was completed in 1899. It is located on Church Street in Georgetown, and has been designated a National Monument.
The history of the Anglican Church in Guyana can be traced as far back as 1781, when the Reverend William Baggs, Chaplain to Sir George Rodney, came to Guyana.
However, his stay was short-lived and it was not until 1796 that the impact of Anglicanism was felt, when Reverend Francis MacMahon began holding services in a room on the ground floor of a building that was on the site of the present Parliament Buildings.
The first church dates back to 1810 and was erected on the site that now houses St. George's School. This church soon became too small for its increasing membership. In 1839 the foundation stone for a larger church was laid and the small church was relocated at St. Matthew's Parish, East Bank Demerara.
The second church was completed in 1842 and became the first cathedral, as a Bishop (William Piercy Austin) was consecrated and the Diocese of Guiana created on 24 August 1842. However, because of a fault in the structure of the building, it began cracking in several places and soon became unsuitable for habitation. It was subsequently dismantled.
In 1877, a temporary Pro-Cathedral was erected in the grounds of the Deanery at a cost of G$10,000. Arthur Blomfield then produced the first plans for the new cathedral - for a building in stone with a central tower and two western towers; but these were rejected because of the weight and the expense. His subsequent plans for a wooden cathedral were accepted, a design that kept many of the salient features of his first plan, such as the central tower and the Latin cross formation of nave and transepts. It was in the Gothic style of architecture, complete with flying buttresses, but it also had a tropical flavour, ensuring light and air. However, it was to be in timber and the committee emphasised that woods of the country and no others were to be used, although in fact pitchpine was imported from North America for the ceiling.
The foundation stone for the present St. George's Cathedral, built mainly of Greenheart, was laid on 21 November 1889, and the cathedral was consecrated on 8 November 1894 and dedicated by Bishop Swaby.

**About Me**
Hello, everyone! My name is Tera Bradham and I am going on the World Race Expedition Route to South America from August 2016-June 2017. This means my squad and I will go to every country in South America doing mission work. I studied Broadcast Journalism as one of my majors in undergrad, so I thought it would be fun to bring everyone along for a vlog about all that God does on our trip. I don't know how the Internet will be in each country, but I will try to upload videos as often as I can. Thanks for checking my channel out!
Real Goes To Suriname - Part 2 - Learning From Our Neighbours
Join me as I take another look at our neighbour Suriname, this time comparing the quality of life with a special focus on transport infrastructure to see what we in Guyana could be doing differently and better. Suriname is by no means the best country in the world nor is Guyana the worst but I draw these important comparisons to inspire you with what is possible right next door. Know that it could never be unpatriotic to criticize your homeland with the aim of agitating for positive change. If we never have the courage to point out what doesn't work, how will we have understanding necessary to devise the necessary solutions? When you find yourself living in one of the poorest countries in the world with one of the highest paid governments in the world, know that you are well within your right to demand quality service. Eavesdrop on my conversation with a Guyanese who recently moved to Suriname and listen to his answer when I try to find out what it would take to bring him back. Visit the St. Peter and Paul Cathedral and compare it with the St. George's Cathedral in Georgetown which is fast becoming the world's tallest wooden fire hazard. Let's talk about the maintenance of public spaces and stop in for an interview with the station manager of the Paramaribo Central Bus Terminal to get some good advice on how to transform the Stabroek Bus Park in Guyana. There is no shame in the search for knowledge, best practice or understanding nor is there any admitting we don't have all the answers. The real shame is in ending or failing to begin this search because of ignorant pride for there is truly no good reason. If you look at this channel and see footage you hate, don't hate me for it. Hate reality then let's work on changing it into something we can all fall in love with.
