Cornwall Factoids: Truro Cathedral

• One of these factoids is wrong.
• Buy one Cathedral and get a Free Church! Truro Cathedral is built on the site of the 16th century St Mary's Church. But rather than demolish it, they included it in the design and it can be seen - both outside and in. It's the only cathedral in the country like this. Nifty!
• Amazing! - Truro Cathedral's pillars are made of Bath Stone which, as everyone knows, in 1980 cost £8 per cubic foot! Pricey!
• A Stain in the Glass - In the days before GOD TV people used to have to watch God in church windows. Without screensavers, many of these images have been "burnt"or "stained" onto the glass. Truro has the Biggest Stained Glass of anywhere in the world!
• Avant Guard, kinda -It was the first Cathedral to be built in England in hundreds of years - how many years depends on who you listen to. For example, Answers.com says 600 years. CornwallGuide says 800 years etc
  
• No Way! Truro Was a city before the cathedral was built. Yes way!
  
• Copy Cat - Much like Nine Inch Nails recently releasing music direct to bittorent, Truro Cathedral is a part of a Gothic Revival.
• Numerological Mystery - The combined height of the three spires is 198 meters. In feet this is 649.606 feet. It doesn't take a maths teacher to see that 649.606 is only a 49 and a .0 away from the number of the beast! Omen Oh Man!
  

Postscript, 3 days after posting: I have just been inside the cathedral for the first time in over a decade. You forget what a wonderful structure and place it is.
