St Deiniol Cathedral, Bangor, Gwynedd, Wales, UK - Cathedrals on Waymarking.com

Founded c.525, more than 70 years before Canterbury, the Cathedral is the only institution in Bangor that has persisted through the changing scenes of national and local life.

Small it may be by comparison with many other cathedrals in these islands, but if people let the building speak for itself, they find that its natural charm and simplicity make its own appeal.

The Cathedral is old, but it is no anachronism; it has much that is historic, but it is no museum; it thrills, but it does not over-awe. We can only make sense of our Cathedral when we remember that for almost fifteen centuries it has been a place of worship and prayer.

We thank God that our Cathedral still plays its part in the modern world, both as the Mother Church of a large but rural diocese, and as a place where there is a constant offering of worship and praise to the glory of God. For this it was built and for this we strive to maintain it. May it also be a place of inspiration and peace to all who find their way here.
