Ripon Cathedral, Anglican cathedral in Ripon, England
The cathedral exhibits English Gothic architecture with a prominent west front, geometric east window, and multiple stone columns supporting its vast interior spaces.
Founded as a monastery by Irish monks in 660s, the cathedral stands on its fourth reconstruction, with building phases spanning from the 13th to 16th centuries.
The medieval woodcarvings decorating the choir stalls influenced Lewis Carroll's literary works and represent intricate craftsmanship of religious art from that period.
The cathedral opens daily from 8 AM to 6 PM Monday through Saturday and 8 AM to 5 PM on Sundays, offering free entry to all visitors.
The Anglo-Saxon crypt beneath the cathedral remains the oldest surviving structure of any English cathedral, dating back to the original church of 672.
