Īlso included are those structures or sites of intended cathedrals as well as pro-cathedrals, which are churches serving as an interim cathedral, (for instance whilst a permanent cathedral is acquired), or as a co-cathedral where the diocesan demographics/geography require the bishop's seat to be shared with a building in another location. The following list comprises, for England and Wales and its dependencies, all locations of current cathedral churches, or former cathedral churches, including those locations where no trace remains of the structure, indeed where the precise location is no longer known. 2.4.2 Holy Catholic Church (Western Rite).2.3.6 Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church.2.3 Eastern and Oriental Orthodox Churches.2.2.2.1 Eparchy of the Holy Family of London.2.2.1.7 Personal Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham.Some were formerly abbeys or priories, whilst others were parochial, or parish churches, subsequently promoted in status due to ecclesiastical requirements such as periodic diocesan reorganisation. Some cathedrals were purpose-built as such. However, many of the grand and ancient cathedrals that remain today were originally built to much smaller plans, and have been successively extended and rebuilt over the centuries. Modern cathedrals frequently lack the grandeur of those of the Medieval and Renaissance times, having more focus on the functional aspect of a place of worship. A cathedral may in fact be a relatively small building, particularly where they exist in sparser or poorer communities. Such a church is grand because it is a cathedral, rather than it being designated a cathedral because of its grandeur.
Whilst many cathedrals may be such, this is due to their ecclesiastical status. It is a common misconception that the term "cathedral" may be applied to any particularly large or grand church. However the label 'cathedral' remains in common parlance for notable churches that were formerly part of an episcopal denomination. In the strictest sense, only those Christian denominations with an episcopal hierarchy possess cathedrals. Former and intended cathedrals are listed separately.Ī cathedral church is a Christian place of worship that is the chief, or "mother" church of a diocese and is distinguished as such by being the location for the cathedra or bishop's seat.
