St Peter's Cathedral is a small anglican church located on the corner of Willis Street and Ghuznee street. The lighting in this 1848 timber church is considerably affected by the large concrete buildings that surround it. Due to this, additional windows have been added onto the western wall to alow for sufficient natural light. Majority of the windows are large gothic pointed arch windows decorated in stain glass. Although this typical New Zealand church has lost some of it's natural beauty due to surroundings, light is still very much a crucial part of the design for this building
