"When completed, and opened for worship, the building was 100 feet long, and 44-foot wide, and was looked upon as the finest in the settlement." - Frank Walker. Built in 1803, St Johns Cathedral is the oldest Church in Parramatta, with its towers having been first built in the time of Governor Macquarie. The design of the church is based on churches found in Reculver, England, and it has both a federal and state heritage listing.
