Worcester Cathedral (formally the Cathedral Church of Christ and the Blessed Virgin Mary) is a Church of England cathedral in Worcester, Worcestershire. It is the seat of the Bishop of Worcester. The cathedral was founded in 680, though the earliest surviving fabric dates from 1084, when the cathedral was rebuilt in the Romanesque style by Bishop Wulfstan. The chapter house dates from 1120. The nave was extended in the 1170s. Between 1224-1269 the east end was rebuilt in the Early English Gothic style. The remainder of the nave was rebuilt in the 1360s, and the central tower completed in 1374. The cathedral was heavily restored in the 19th century.
