From Wikipedia:
"In 1852, Bertram Arthur Talbot, the 17th Earl of Shrewsbury offered to build a cathedral from which the new diocese of Shrewsbury would be based. The cathedral was designed by Edward Pugin (the son of Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin). Originally, a larger cathedral with a tall spire was planned. However, two years into the building of the cathedral, a stratum of sand was discovered very close the buildings foundations, causing them to be weaker than expected so the spire had to be abandoned and the building scaled down.[2] The Earl of Shrewsbury then agreed to meet the cost of a smaller church, and this was finished at a cost of £4,000, but he died three months prior to its completion. In 1856, the cathedral was completed and was opened by Cardinal Wiseman." Text source: (visit link)
