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.
