The history of
Portsmouth starts here...

From its beginning in the 1180s as the heart of Portsmouth's original settlement, St Thomas's Cathedral has been integral to the development of Portsmouth as a modern and vibrant city.

• Attacked by the French in 1338
• Damaged by cannon fire in the Civil War
• Original Charles II marriage certificate
• Framed piece of the flag that flew at Trafalgar carried in Lord Nelson's funeral procession to St Paul's, London in 1806

We are delighted to share a precious part of our faith, culture and heritage with you.

Think about the things that are true and honourable and right and
pure and beautiful and respected…And the God who gives peace will be with you.
PHILIPPIANS 4:8-9
