Summary edit

Description

Chester Cathedral, formerly the abbey church of a Benedictine monastery and dedicated to Saint Werburgh is the seat of the Bishop of Chester.

The cathedral dates from between 1093 and 1525 although the site itself may have been used for Christian worship since Roman times. All the major styles of English medieval architecture are represented in the present building. Most notoriously were the major repairs in Victorian times giving Chester the distinction of the most renovated cathedral in the UK. The red sandstone easily weathers and in the 1800's the outside was in a sorry state. At the time it caused much controversy but from a 21st century perspective we are left with a stunning building.
