NORWICH ROMAN CATHOLIC CATHEDRAL OF ST JOHN THE BAPTIST, ARCHITECTS' DRAWINGS

Architects' drawings up to 1907, plus some architectural material

The majority of the drawings listed here are by the two Scotts. Some are signed and dated but many are not and their styles were so similar that no attempt has been made to distinguish them. The other principal hand is presumably that of another member of the firm who specialised on the engineering side. A number of the plans are drawn by one hand and annotated by another and occasional notes are added probably by Thomas Burton, the clerk of works at Norwich.

Dated drawings are first listed by date and then undated ones as far as possible by architectural feature.

The Church of St. John Baptist (now the Cathedral of the Roman Catholic Diocese of East Anglia) was built in the years 1884-1910. The nave was completed first and was designed principally by George Gilbert Scott. The building was finished after his death in 1897 by John Oldrid Scott.
