NOTES: This former parish church, built in Derbyshire limestone in Gothic style, was completed in 1430. A major restoration by Flockton & Gibbs was completed in 1880. It was elevated to cathedral status in 1919 and Sir Charles Nicholson was entrusted with the design of a new larger building incorporating much of the old. The Crypt Chapel of All Saints, the Chapel of St George, the Chapter House, were all completed in the 1930s.
