Truro Cathedral in Cornwall was designed by John Loughborough Pearson, and his son Frank took over after Pearson died in 1897. The article names no formal client, but the Diocese of Truro, founded in 1876, and its first bishop, Edward White Benson, were central to the project. The infobox and text agree on 1880 to 1910, with the choir and transepts finished by 1887 and the central tower by 1905.
The article calls the style Gothic Revival, combining Early English and French features. It uses Mabe granite outside, St Stephen's granite inside and Bath and Polyphant stone for dressings. The central tower and spire are 250 feet (76 m) tall, and the western towers are 200 feet (61 m).
Restoration began in 2002, and girl choristers were admitted in 2015. It is an active Church of England cathedral with a choir, and St Mary's Aisle still serves as a parish church. The article gives no hours.
