Chester Cathedral, Chester Cathedral Office, Chester, Cheshire

Originally built as a monastery founded in 1092, Chester Cathedral was reconstuted as a Cathedral in 1541. The building has a rich and fascinating heritage and a visit here opens a window onto a rich and varied story of monks, kings and craftsmen.
The Cathedral is an extraordinary mixture of old and new, with something for everyone to enjoy. From Norman arches to gothic columns, from spectacular fourteenth century woodcarvings to wonderful afternoon teas in the monks’ refectory, there is so much here to discover and enjoy. There are also modern works of art and the newly replanted Cloister Garden is a haven of peace and calm in a busy day. Chester Cathedral is truly a national treasure in the centre of the city!
