History
Construction began under The Rt Rev. Frederic Beaven, Bishop of Mashonaland, and the sanctuary and choir were completed in 1914. The sandstone structure was only finished in 1961. The cathedral features a bell tower with 10 bells which were cast in London. There are four chapels, dedicated to St George, St Mary, St Cecelia and the martyr Bernard Mizeki.
In 2012 a special service marked the return of the building to the Church of the Province of Central Africa after victory in a long-running legal battle with excommunicated former bishop Nolbert Kunonga, who had broken away from the CPCA in 2007 to form his own church. Kunonga and his supporters seized cars, churches, orphanages and other properties belonging to the CPCA. Eventually, the Supreme Court ruled that all the properties should be returned to the Anglican Diocese of Harare.
The present Bishop of Mashonaland is The Rt Rev. Chad Gandiya.
