Chester Cathedral
Chester Cathedral
is a
Church of England
cathedral
,
mother church
for the Diocese of
Chester
, north-west
England
. It is built on
Anglo-Saxon
foundations dating back to
907
. From this it was gradually extended and rebuilt three times, the most lasting design from 1250 being what we see today.
For the first 530 years of its existence it was
Saint Werburgh
's Abbey after the remains of the Saint it housed. The
Dissolution of the Monasteries
saw it become a cathedral. It was thanks to the admiration of the
King Henry VIII
that it was left unmolested. Chester Cathedral remains the tallest building in
Cheshire
today.
