Construction of the cathedral's iconic bell tower began in 1887, but it was only between 1923 and 1926 that the lower part was built, coinciding with the extension of the west aisle. The extended building was officially opened in April 1926 by Archbishop Robert Spence. However, the tower remained incomplete until architect Lynton Jury completed it in its present form in 1996, 109 years after it was built. The tower now houses the Murphy Bell from 1867 and thirteen other bells, seven of which date from 1881 and were previously housed in St Mary's Cathedral in Sydney.
