Coptic Orthodox Cathedral of St George

It is located in Shephalbury and is not only the first Coptic cathedral in the UK but also the country’s first purpose built Coptic place of worship and was inaugurated in September 2006 by His Grace Bishop Angaelos. There is only one other Coptic cathedral in Western Europe. The building is in the shape of a crucifix and seats 350 people although more people can be fitted in if a movable wall that leads into a hall next door, that is usually used for social purposes, is moved.
