The early-18th-century Cathedral of St. Philip, a few blocks from Victoria Square, contains some lovely plasterwork in its elegant, gilded Georgian interior. The stained-glass windows behind the altar, designed by the Pre-Raphaelite Edward Burne-Jones (1833–98) and executed by William Morris (1834–96), glow with sensuous hues. Free; suggested donation £2. Weekdays 7:30–6:30 (closes 5 late July–early Sept., and for 1 wk after Christmas and Easter); weekends 8:30–5.
