It has been a place of Christian worship for more than 1,000 years, but a cathedral only since the creation of the diocese of Southwark in 1905.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Between 1106 and 1538 it was the church of an Augustinian priory, Southwark Priory, dedicated to the Virgin Mary (St. Mary&#8217;s \u2013 over the river). Following the dissolution of the monasteries, it became a parish church, with the new dedication of St Saviour&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The church was in the diocese of Winchester until 1877, when the parish of St Saviour&#8217;s, along with other South London parishes, was transferred to the diocese of Rochester.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The present building retains the basic form of the Gothic structure built between 1220 and 1420, although the nave is a late 19th-century reconstruction.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\"

for the Bankside area, the church had close connections with the great Elizabethan dramatists, and a statue of William Shakespeare can be seen in the garden.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\"
