Wakefield Cathedral (Wakefield)
The Cathedral of All Saints is the cathedral serving Wakefield in Yorkshire.
Originally a parish church, it was elevated to cathedral status when the see was founded in 1888.
The original church was Norman, built around 1100. It was cruciform, and had a central tower, which fell down in 1315. Around this time, the nave was widened, absorbing the transepts.
A new West tower was built about 1410, and the nave was then lengthened.
Considerable restoration was carried out after the church became a cathedral, under the direction of John Loughborough Pearson. Its crocketed spire rises to 247 feet.
