BRECON CATHEDRAL, POWYS

Picture
Brecon Priory was founded after 1093 by Bernard de Neufmarche and became a dependent cell of Battle Abbey, Sussex.  The present building dates principally from the 13th century.  Following the Dissolution, the building became a parish church, but it fell into disrepair.  A major Victorian restoration was carried out by Sir George Gilbert Scott in 1860-62 and 1873.  The new diocese was created and the church attained Cathedral status in 1923.
 
Stephen Oliver was appointed Cathedral Architect in 2015 and he completed a Quinquennial Inspection of the Cathedral and other buildings in that year.  We have reroofed the Choir Vestry dormer, and are working on a major programme of intervention to reorder the interior, provide a new entrance and reroof the entire Cathedral’s stone slated roof slopes.
