More about this scene
Truro's great glory is its cathedral, which soars sublimely over the roofs. Though it gives the impression of great antiquity, it was built by J L Pearson in the decades between 1880 and 1909 in the Early English style. The central tower rises 250 feet into the sky, and was conceived as a memorial to Queen Victoria.
