About Us

Welcome to the Bradford Cathedral website. The Cathedral is one of  Yorkshire’s  ‘hidden gems’. It is the oldest building in the City but it also has a wonderful 20th-century extension. Ancient and modern. Visitors are constantly surprised and uplifted by this intimate and yet inspiring place of prayer. Since the first millennium, Christians have worshipped on this hillside in the centre of Bradford. We look forward to welcoming you.

The Very Reverend Jerry Lepine
Dean of Bradford
