Ripon Cathedral was Built on site of St. Wilfrid's 7th-century monastery, Ripon Cathedral incorporates Saxon crypt (672 AD) within later Gothic structure, creating remarkable historical continuity. The cathedral's scale reflects its status as one of England's smallest cathedrals while containing significant architectural features. Key viewpoints include the Saxon crypt with its narrow passages, the misericords (medieval choir stall carvings), the west front with its unusual twin towers, the woodwork including the organ case, the library with medieval manuscripts, and the close with historic buildings. The cathedral represents continuous Christian worship for over 1,300 years, with architectural layers telling story from Saxon simplicity through medieval elaboration to Victorian restoration.
