| Ripon Cathedral |
| A small but very welcoming and friendly
cathedral in a delighful town. Park in one of the
modestly priced car parks. Entrance is free but there is
a £3.00 charge for photography.
Ripon Cathedral is a Cathedral of the Modern Foundation, having been raised to cathedral status in 1836, the first to be created since the Reformation. |
| South West Tower |
| Note: unfortunately this area is used a a store for chairs and other equipment, often making the very large monument, and even some of the others, difficult to see let alone photograph. When I visit Ripon I often visit the Cathedral to see what is stacked up in this section. This was the best day yet with only some boxes blocking the large monument and nothing the others. |
