The Cathedral

The location of Patrick Hamilton’s trial. The site was used for worship since the 8th century, although work on the cathedral itself was begun in 1160–2 by Bishop Arnold. During the reformation it began a focal point for Protestant dissatisfaction with the Roman Church, and by the 1560s the cathedral was abandoned.
