Download coordinates as: This is a list of cathedrals in England, the Isle of Man, Guernsey and Jersey, as well as Gibraltar.
Modern cathedrals frequently lack the grandeur of those of the Medieval and Renaissance times, focusing more on the functional aspect of a place of worship.
However, many of the grand and ancient cathedrals that remain today were originally built to much smaller plans, and have been successively extended and rebuilt over the centuries.
Some were formerly abbeys or priories, whilst others were parochial, or parish churches, subsequently promoted in status due to ecclesiastical requirements such as periodic diocesan reorganisation.
Built originally (1892–1895) as "Church of the Ark of the Covenant" for the Agapemonites (the Abode of Love) but probably not actively used by them after the 1920s.
