Sir James Duhig KCMG (2 September 1873 – 10 April 1965) was an Irish-born Australian Roman Catholic religious leader. He was the Archbishop of Brisbane for 48 years from 1917 until his death in 1965. At the time of his death he was the longest-serving bishop in the Catholic Church (1905–1965). Source; en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Duhig

St Stephen's Cathedral was opened on 17 May 1874,2 superseding Old St Stephen's, which still stands alongside it. A Gothic Revival building built of porphyry and freestone, the new Cathedral was built in stages: The foundation stone was laid in 1863, with the intention of constructing a grand building to the design of architect Benjamin Backhouse. With the economic crisis of the 1860s, work on the building ceased in 1864, and when construction was resumed in 1870, it was to a smaller and simplified design by the Brisbane architect, R. George Suter. Two sandstone towers were added in 1884, and the sacristy and simple transepts were added in 1922.3 Archbishop James Duhig planned for a completely new Holy Name Cathedral (opposite All Hallows' Convent), for which the foundation stone was laid in September 1928, but these plans never proceeded. Instead, St Stephen's was extensively renovated in 1988-89 under the direction of Brisbane architect, Robin Gibson. At this time, three new chapels were added at the east end, the gallery was removed from the west end, and the original towers (which had already been removed) were replaced.

“Wolseley led the belated expedition to relieve General Gordon at Khartoum, 1884-5. Later Commander in Chief of the British Army, he was responsible for important reforms. Wolseley was the model for Major-General Stanley in Gilbert and Sullivan's operetta The Pirates of Penzance.”

"... ... Wolseley eventually retired in 1901. But his reputation for efficiency led to the phrase 'everything's all Sir Garnet’, meaning all is in order.
