Christ Church Cathedral, Victoria, Fisher Corbel

            A corbel of Geoffrey Fisher (Archbishop of Canterbury 1945-61) in the narthex Christ Church Cathedral, Victoria. I can find no more information about it, although it is of note that the cathedral would have been a hive of construction activity in the 1950s, when the two towers were being completed.

Christ Church Cathedral in Victoria is the mother church of the Diocese of British Columbia of the Anglican Church of Canada. Designed by J C M Keith in Early English Gothic style, it won an international competition in 1896. Construction was, at least at first, halting and regularly interrupted, and didn't really get going until 1926. The nave was consecrated in 1929, the western towers were complete by the 1950s, and the east end was completed and consecrated only in 1991.

It is the third cathedral for the Diocese; the first two were located directly opposite Quadra Street from the current building. The first, originally a parish church but elevated to a Cathedral, burned down in 1869. The second, was opened in 1872, and eventually replaced (I am not sure what happened to the building). The main organ, designed by Helmuth Wolff of Laval, Quebec, was installed as recently as 2005. It is a four-manual monster with over 4,000 pipes.
