Cathedrals and Minsters in the United Kingdom

A cathedral is a church with a bishopric. It is the main church of a diocese (ecclesiastical administrative district).

For reasons of British church history, churches built before 1800 in the United Kingdom almost always belong to an Anglican church: the Church of England , the - Presbyterian - Church of Scotland (but not the Anglican Scottish Episcopal Church ), the Church in Wales or the Church of Ireland .

Early medieval church buildings are Anglo-Saxon or Irish-Scottish in the British Isles . This was followed by the Norman architectural style from 1066 - instead of the continental Romanesque . The Gothic construction (Perpendicular Style) was never completely abandoned here at the end of the Middle Ages, so that there was a smooth transition from the late Gothic to the neo-Gothic . Both Gothic and Baroque churches have been built in the island kingdom since the 17th century .

Scotland

Church of Scotland

The Church of Scotland is no longer governed by bishops and officially has no cathedrals. However, buildings that were cathedrals before the Reformation, or in times of church history when it had an episcopate, were still referred to as "cathedrals". They are often referred to as "High Kirk".

Basilicae minores

A basilica minor is an honorary title given by the Pope to individual church buildings of the Catholic Church, regardless of their design. Currently around 1500 churches worldwide bear the title of minor basilica, a third of them in Italy . Some basilicae minores are cathedrals at the same time, many are not.
