The gothic Ripon Cathedral dates from the 7th century founded by Scottish monks in 662 but refounded as a Benedictine monastery in 672. Previously Ripon Minster, it became a cathedral in 1836.

There has been a stone church on the site since 672 when Saint Wilfrid replaced the previous timber church of the monastery at Ripon with one in the Roman style. This is one of the earliest stone buildings erected in the Anglo-Saxon Kingdom of Northumbria.
