The St. Mary And St. Thomas Cathedral Is A Roman Catholic Cathedral In Northampton, England. It Is The Seat Of The Diocese Of Northampton Which Covers The Counties Of Northamptonshire, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, And That Part Of Berkshire (Formerly In Buckinghamshire), That Lies To The North Of The River Thames.

The Origins Of The current Building Date Back To 1840, When Bishop William Wareing († 1865), Commissioned Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin To Design A Collegiate Chapel Of St. Felix Which Was Built In 1844. The Number Of Worshippers Soon Outgrew The Size Of The Building And Pugin's Son, Edward Welby Pugin, Was Chosen By Bishop Francis Kerril Amherst († 1883), To Design An Extension In Order To Make The Building Into A Cathedral. This Extension Came In The Form Of The Current Nave Which Was Opened In 1864, Dedicated To Our Lady Immaculate And St. Thomas Of Canterbury.

The Cathedral Was Left In This Form Until Bishop Thomas Leo Parker († 1975), Decided That The West End Of The Cathedral Should Be Extended. The Original East End Was Replaced By A Straight East End, Transepts And A Crossing Tower All By Albert Herbert.
