| Description |
The cathedral began life in 1093 as St Werburgh's Abbey Church and served as a Benedictine Monastry and, during the succeeding centuries, it was extended. When Henry VIII dissolved the monastries in the 1540s it became an Anglican cathedral dedicated to Christ and the Virgin. Some limited building work continued and a tower was started but not completed. Little was done during the 17th and 18th centuries and by the mid 19th century the building was in a parlous state. Between 1868 and 1875, under the direction of George Gilbert Scott, an extensive restoration took place. Scott was responsible for giving the building its present unified appearance and for adding the four turrets to the tower. |
