Bangor Cathedral, Eglwys Gadeiriol Bangor, was founded in the 6th century by Saint Deiniol.
Nothing of the original building survives, or many of the following iterations as it has a rich history of being destroyed. It was sacked by Vikings in 634 and 1073. The next cathedral built by the Normans was destroyed in 1211 by King John's army raiding Gwynedd. The church was rebuilt in the 13th century, but damaged further Edward I invaded Gwynedd in 1282. In 1402, the church burned to the ground during the Glyndwr Rebellion.
The current structure is largely late 15th century, with significant restoration from the 19th century by George Gilbert Scott. Apart from the rood screen by Oldrid Scott, much of the woodwork is from this era, carved by Robert Thompson. Thompson famously carved a handful of little mice around the cathedral.
We came here for shine if the Easter services so can't comment too much on the building (though the modern painting of Thomas is stunning). In terms of worship, good liturgy supported well by the choir and a fairly traditional service overall. There may well be free parking somewhere, but the only learning we found was paid.
Love it I caught my mew two here
Fantastic building inside very decieving from the outside
Nice to go if you want to be left alone with your thoughts. First Class👍👌
