The nave facing East.

Originating in the 11th century, the cathedral was rebuilt in the 12th and 16th century as a parish church and became a cathedral in 1914. Work started on a Gothic revival style tower in 2000; funded by the Millennium Commission, the Stephen Dykes Bower Trust and others. I think some monies came from the EU as well. That won't happen for much longer I'm afraid.

It stands in the grounds of the ruins of the old abbey, which was built in the early 10th century,
