Chester Cathedral is the most complete medieval monastic building still standing in the UK. It was founded as a Benedictine Monastery in 1092 and was rededicated as the Cathedral Church of Christ and the Blessed Virgin Mary in 1542, following the dissolution of the monasteries. The Cathedral boasts splendid stained glass windows and brilliant sculptures and fabrics. The Bell Tower was introduced to the grounds under Dean Addleshaw in 1975. The present building contains material from every century since the tenth as the Cathedral grew out of three previous churches.
