Introduction
Christ Church Cathedral stands on Trafalgar Square, a Gothic Revival civic church begun in the 1860s. Damaged in the 2013 Seddon earthquake, its restoration continues to this day, yet it remains Nelson's spiritual landmark and the centre of civic gathering. The square before it hosts Saturday markets and concerts — the centrestage of Nelson's slow life.
