St John the Baptist's Church

St John the Baptist's Church stands outside Chester's city walls on a cliff above the River Dee. Founded by the Anglo-Saxons in the late 7th century, it served as a cathedral in the 11th century. The present parish church, restored in the 19th century, keeps Norman work inside, and ruins of the larger medieval church stand at its east end.
