URPoint Details
Priory Church of St John, raised to cathedral status in 1923, was originally the church of a Benedictine monastery founded in 1091 by Bernard of Newmarch for Benedictines from Battle in Sussex.
Most of the present building, however, belongs to the 13th and 14th centuries.
The aisles were formerly filled with craft-guild chapels of which only one, that of the corvizors (shoemakers) remain.
