St John the Baptist Cathedral in Norwich was designed by George Gilbert Scott Jr. The infobox also lists John Oldrid Scott, whom the text does not mention. Henry Fitzalan-Howard, 15th Duke of Norfolk, funded it as thanksgiving for his first marriage. Construction ran from 1882 to 1910, and the infobox gives a cost of 230,000 pounds. It stands on the site of the former city gaol.

The infobox lists Gothic Revival and Grade I status, designated February 26, 1954. The article names no materials or dimensions. It was built as a parish church. The infobox says consecrated 1910, while the text says the cathedral was consecrated in 1976 for the new Diocese of East Anglia.

A Pontifical High Mass in 2014 was the first in the city since 1558. The Duckett Library opened in 2012, and the Narthex visitor centre in 2010. The article gives no hours.
