About

Bradford Cathedral is the oldest building in the city and a beautiful example of Perpendicular Gothic architecture, set within a peaceful hillside garden. Developing from a church that dates back to at least the 14th century, it became a cathedral in 1919 and has long served as a center of faith and community in West Yorkshire. Known for its warm welcome and its collection of Morris & Co. stained glass and textiles, the cathedral is a vibrant social hub that hosts regular art exhibitions, concerts, and interfaith events, reflecting the diverse and creative spirit of modern Bradford.
