SJ0374 : Eglwys Gadeiriol Llanelwy - Saint Asaph Cathedral

near to St Asaph, Denbighshire/Sir Ddinbych, Great Britain

Eglwys Gadeiriol Llanelwy - Saint Asaph Cathedral
Eglwys Gadeiriol Llanelwy - Saint Asaph Cathedral
St Asaph's is quite a small cathedral situated at the heart of the quiet town (or indeed cathedral city) of Llanelwy (which is the welsh form of St Asaph).
The cathedral dates originally from the C13th, but there have been numerous additions and alterations throughout the intervening seven centuries. The section of the cathedral which can be seen in this photo includes this oldest part. The chancel which cannot be seen here is far more recent, dating I think from the C19th. The site has been used as a place of worship since AD560 when the church and a monastic community were founded here by St Kentigern (St Mungo), Bishop of Strathclyde. When Kentigern left to return to Strathclyde he left Asaph behind as his successor.
