The Church Built Without Steel

Westminster Cathedral, at Francis Street in London, stands as the largest Catholic church in England and Wales. Dedicated to the Most Precious Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ, it is the seat of the Archbishop of Westminster. The building, designed by John Francis Bentley in a 9th-century Christian neo-Byzantine style, was constructed between 1895 and 1903. Notable for its avoidance of steel reinforcements, the cathedral was criticised at the time as unfeasible, but it has remained standing for over a century. The cathedral covers a floor area of about 5,017 square metres, making it the 38th largest Catholic church globally in terms of interior area. It is 350 feet long, 156 feet wide and 90 feet high.
