St Paul's seen through the trees in a view of The Octagon, Dunedin St Paul's Cathedral is the mother church of the Anglican Diocese of Dunedin in New Zealand and the seat of the Bishop of Dunedin.
The Cathedral Church of St Paul occupies a site in the heart of The Octagon near the Dunedin Town Hall and hence Dunedin.
The land for St Paul's Church was given by the sealer and whaler Johnny Jones of Waikouaiti.

He is remembered as the composer of the hymn tune "Quam dilecta".
In 1871 Samuel Nevill was elected as Bishop of Dunedin.

The issue was avoided by forming a commission to investigate the whole matter.

However, Nevill favoured St.
Matthew's Church, Dunedin, and the impasse remained.
In the early 1880s the question was revisited and again no resolution was reached.
However, in 1894, 18 years after the issue was first raised, all sides agreed to the proposal for St Paul's to become the cathedral.
