St. Paul’s Cathedral on the island of St Helena

St. Paul's Cathedral is a cathedral church on the island of St Helena and is part of the Diocese of St Helena. It is located approximately 2 miles south of Jamestown in the district of St Paul's. The church replaced the Country Church, which existed from the early days of St Helenian colonisation in the late 17th century.

Building work on the new church began in 1850 and was completed in 1851. The church became the cathedral in 1859 when the Diocese of St Helena was established. At that time, the diocese included the islands of Ascension and Tristan da Cunha, though the latter has since been transferred away. St. Paul's Cathedral is a Grade I listed building.

The parish of St Paul's Cathedral is one of three parishes on the island. It consists of the cathedral and four daughter churches: Saint Andrew's in Half Tree Hollow, Saint Helena of the Cross in Blue Hill, Saint Martin's in the Hills in Thompsons Hill, and Saint Peter's in Sandy Bay. Nearby is Plantation House, which is also a Grade I listed building.
