"Although there has been a parish church building on this site since the late Anglo Saxon or Early Norman period, the cathedral we see today looks nothing like the building that would have stood there all those years ago.

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."
