Portsmouth Cathedral (formally the Cathedral Church of St Thomas of Canterbury) is a Church of England cathedral in Old Portsmouth, Hampshire. It is the seat of the Bishop of Portsmouth. Of the original 12th-century building, only the chancel and the transepts remain. The mediæval tower and nave were ruined in the Civil War. The nave and west tower were rebuilt in the classical style after the Restoration. Galleries were added in 1708 and were extended in 1750. Following the establishment of the church as a cathedral in 1927, it was expanded in a Neo-Byzantine style by Sir Charles Nicholson. This work was not fully completed until the 1990s. The cathedral is within the council area of Portsmouth (Hampshire).
