Building
The Diocese of Manchester was created in 1847 by Queen Victoria when the collegiate church of St Mary, St George & St Denys was elevated to cathedral status.  It was constructed over a period of 600 years but its main style is perpendicular Gothic.  It is particularly noted for the the medieval woodcarvings of the Ripon Carvers.
