Chester Cathedral
Chester Cathedral, Abbey Square, Chester, Cheshire, CH1 2HU.
The story of Chester Cathedral can be traced back to the time of the Saxon Minster, which in 907 housed the remains of St Werburgh. During the period from 1092 to 1540 the Benedictine Abbey of St Werburgh flourished on the same ground. The story continues with the foundation of a Cathedral for Chester Diocese by Henry VIII in 1541, and on to our own day. As a result, the present building contains materials belonging to every Christian century since the tenth. Today as well as admiring the architecture, the woodcarving and the stained glass windows, visitors can eat in the refectory which was built in the 13th century as the dining hall for 40 monks.
