"Albert Dock is home to the UK’s largest collection of Grade I listed buildings, and London aside, is the most visited multi-use attraction in the UK.

During the English Civil war in the mid 17th century, pitched battles were fought inside and around the Cathedral between the Royalists (those supporting Charles I, the Stewarts, and the Anglican Church) and the Roundheads (Oliver Cromwell loyalists). Also Ann Lee, the founder of the religious movement called the Shakers interrupted services here when she lived in Manchester. The church was targeted by the Nazi Luftwaffe and received a direct head during the bombings of 1940. Yet through all this the Church maintains it's quiet dignity and beauty. It is a must see while in Manchester!"

In the thirteenth century a stone parish church was constructed in the parish that was to become Manchester, serving people in a 60 mile radius."
