Manchester Cathedral

Manchester Cathedral, formally the Cathedral and Collegiate Church of St Mary, St Denys, and St George, in Manchester, England, is the mother church of the Anglican Diocese of Manchester, seat of the bishop and the city’s parish church. It is located on Victoria Street in the city centre. The main body of the cathedral largely derives from the wardenship of James Stanley (warden 1485–1506), and is in the Perpendicular Gothic style. Stanley was primarily responsible for commissioning the late-medieval wooden furnishings, including the pulpitum, choir stalls and the nave roof which is supported by angels with gilded instruments. The medieval church was extensively refaced, restored and extended in the Victorian period, and again following bomb damage in the 20th century. The cathedral is one of fifteen Grade I listed buildings in Manchester.
