History

The church stands in the Exchequer near the site of a Saxon church, St Mary's, (which is believed to be under the present cathedral building) mentioned in the Domesday book. [3] The current building dates from the late twelfth/early thirteenth century, was opened in 1317 and was rebuilt in 1695, following damage by the Parliamentary forces in 1644. [4] In 1882 George Frederick Bodley undertook some remodelling work including a chancel screen and organ case. [1] [2] [3]
