Bradford St Peter, Bradford, West Yorkshire
Burgums lived here, or nearby.
BRADFORD ST PETER CHURCH in Bradford, West Yorkshire has been a place of worship since the 8th century. The church was Anglo-Saxon, but fell into disrepair following the Norman Invasion. Another church was built in Norman times, but was destroyed by marauding Scots. In the 14th century the church was rebuilt. The oldest part of the church is the nave arcades, which possibly used stone from the earlier building. A clerestory (rows of windows above eye level to provide light) were added at the end of the 1400's. Chantry chapels were also added on the north and south sides. The western Perpendicular style tower was completed in 1508.
The church became a cathedral in 1919 when the Diocese of Bradford was created. The building was extended in the 1950's and 1960's. Then, in 1987, the nave and west end was altered to cater for the large number of visitors. At the same time, the roof panelling was cleaned and new lighting provided.
