  • 6. The Cathedral Church of St German Peel
    This is a list of former or once proposed cathedrals in Great Britain. The term former cathedral in this list includes any Christian church in Great Britain which has been the seat of a bishop, but is not so any longer. The status of a cathedral, for the purpose of this list, does not depend on whether the church concerned is known to have had a formal throne nor whether a formal territory or diocese was attached to the church.

This list therefore includes early bishop's churches . A former cathedral may be the building that lost its cathedral status or its site, whether now vacant or not. The loss of status may...

  • 9. The Parish Church of St. John the Baptist Peel

The United Kingdom having financed the European coalition that defeated France during the Napoleonic Wars, developed a large Royal Navy that led the British Empire to become the foremost world power for the next century.
