Ripon Cathedral

Ripon Cathedral is the seat of the Bishop of Ripon and Leeds and the motherchurch of the Diocese of Ripon and Leeds, situated in the small North Yorkshire city of Ripon.

The cathedral is one of the oldest and most beautiful in Britain. The Crypt of St Wilfrid (AD 672) is witness to over 1,300 years of continuous worship, though today's building is the fourth church to have stood on the site.

The minster finally became a cathedral (the church where the Bishop has his cathedra or throne) in 1836, the focal point of the newly created Diocese of Ripon - the first to be established since the Reformation.
