| The Cupola shown on the Admiltary charts
is the distinctive tower of Portsmouth Cathedral. It forms a well known
landmark on the approaches to the Portsmouth harbour.
The cupola is part of The Cathedral Church
of St Thomas of Canterbury. A church dedicated to Thomas Becket who was
murdered in 1170.
A prophetic dedication considering later
events in 1449.
Its distinctive style results of its unusual
origins. The building started life as a church which was enlarged
after becoming a Cathedral in 1927.
