Chester Cathedral

Chester Cathedral was the church of the Benedictine abbey of St Werburgh, founded in 1093, and has been the seat of the Bishop of Chester since 1541. The red sandstone building shows every main style of English medieval architecture from Norman to Perpendicular, and the former monastic buildings with the cloister stand on its north side.
