The Anglican diocese of Fredericton in New Brunswick was established in 1845, with John Medley as its first bishop. Medley chose St Mary's, Snettisham, as the model for the new Fredericton cathedral. Before leaving England, Medley hired the Exeter architect Frank Wills to visit St Mary's and make detailed plans, which Medley had with him when he arrived in Fredericton. With additional work by William Butterfield, the cathedral was consecrated in 1853. ==Parish activities==
