St George's is the principal cathedral of the Anglican Province of Western Australia and the metropolitical Diocese of Perth. Consecrated in 1888, it is one of only a few cathedrals constructed of handmade bricks. Its gothic revival design is enhanced by a blend of local and imported materials, including local jarrah roof trusses and arches, limestone from Fremantle, bricks manufactured in three different brickyards along the Swan River, bluestone pillars from Victoria, Oregon pine ceilings, marble reredos manufactured in Italy with English alabaster inserts and a Caen stone pulpit manufactured in France.
