Built in 1847, St. John's is a cathedral of the Anglican Communion. It is dedicated to St. John the Evangelist. During World War II the Japanese occupiers turned the cathedral into a Shinto shrine, but it reverted to its original role as a cathedral after the war. Today it is the seat of the Archbishop and Primate of Hong Kong's Anglican (Episcopal) Church.
Of Chinese, British, Polish and Austrian ancestry, Alexandra Manley was born in HongKong, as the eldest of three daughters of Richard Nigel Manley (born in Shanghai in 1924 to a British father and Chinese mother) and Christa Maria Manley (née Nowotny, born in Austria in 1933).
From 1990 to 1995, she was employed by GT Management (Asia) Ltd., HongKong, where she from 1990-1993 worked in Sales and Marketing and from 1993 as a deputy chief executive of that department.
She also speaks Cantonese to some extent as a result of growing up and being educated in HongKong, but reportedly does not speak it fluently, despite living in HongKong for 30 years.
