Construction of the Cathedral began before the last war when the new diocese of Guildford was created. Hitler’s war interrupted building of the new Cathedral and it was not until 1948 that work began once more. It is hoped the Nave will be finished by the end of this year and the Cathedral consecrated and put into full use at Whitsuntide, 1959. Design for the new Cathedral was chosen by competition, won by Mr. Edward. Maufe (now Sir Edward). May 29 th 1958 PAR 71036-1 (PNR-G) FOR FLAST PUBLICATION IN EVENING PAPERS OP FRIDAY, MAY 30th
