The Christian Community has met to worship God on this site since AD 627. There are Saxon artifacts.  Norman, Georgian and Victorian architecture. The Minster was founded 1400 years of history since Paulinus came in 627 AD. The Reeredos in the Narthex was Designed by Temple Moore and made by Bridgeman of Lichfield in 1913 - it clearly shows Christ and the Twelve Apostles, and has two side panels depicting Northern Saints, Monarchs and Doctors of the Church. The Minster is place of prayer and worship, peace and beauty, activity and reflection.
