Ripon Cathedral from Kirkgate

Ripon Cathedral was founded by St Wilfrid (c.634-709), who brought craftsmen from Europe to build a new stone church on this site. It was dedicated to St Peter in 672. Of this original building, only the Saxon crypt survives. In 1604 the church was re-founded with a Dean and Chapter by King James I. The Chapter was dissolved again under Oliver Cromwell, but then reinstated once more in 1660 when the monarchy was restored. In 1836 Ripon Minster became a Cathedral with the creation of the first new diocese in England since the Reformation.
