Credits Transcribed from the [1852] George Prichard edition by David Price. Transcribed from British Library scans
Summary "A History of Chester Cathedral" by John Hicklin is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The work delves into the rich ecclesiastical history of Chester Cathedral, exploring its foundations, developments, and significance over the centuries, while also providing biographical notices of its bishops and deans. Through this, the author likely aims to illuminate not only the architectural and cultural evolution of the cathedral but also its role in the religious and social fabric of the community. The opening of the book sets a reflective tone as it discusses the profound impact of Christianity and its historical significance within British society. It introduces the readers to the early roots of Christianity in Britain, attributing its introduction to figures such as St. Paul and St. Joseph of Arimathea, while hinting at the complexities and varied theories surrounding this narrative. Moreover, it outlines the transformation of pagan worship sites into Christian centers, suggesting the enduring legacy of these historical figures through the ages. The text establishes a framework for understanding the cathedral's history, leading to deeper explorations of its bishops, deans, and the architectural evolution that ensued as Christianity took hold in Britain.
