Cathedral of the Isles, Great Cumbrae was recorded as part of the Threatened Buildings Survey in April 2002 during an ongoing programme of restoration by Gray Marshall Architects.
The Episcopal College of the Holy Spirit was founded in 1849 by George Frederick Boyle, later the Earl of Glasgow. The foundation stone of the church was laid 29 May 1849 and it was opened for public worship on Whit-Sunday 1851. It was to become a cathedral in 1876. The Canon’s House or South College was completed in 1850 and the Chorister’s House or North College in the following October. The whole complex was designed by William Butterfield one of the principal architects of the Oxford Movement of which Boyle was a staunch supporter. An extensive record was made of all the buildings prior to a large-scale programme of restoration. The terraced grounds, the graveyard and out buildings were included in the survey of this very important 19th century ecclesiastical site. RCAHMS STG MAY 2002
