Ripon Cathedral

Ripon Cathedral is a beautiful, ancient church with a history reaching back to the 7th Century. It is a mother church for the Diocese of Leeds and home for the cathedra (throne) of the Bishop of Leeds. We enjoy welcoming both pilgrims and tourists, hoping that they will capturea glimpse of God’s love for them through the witness of this remarkable building and its people. We look forward to welcoming you.

We hold a service on Sundays in St John's and in St Leonard's Burton Leonard at 9.30 and 11.00 am. Please see church noticeboards, village magazine and village website (bishopmonktontoday.chessck.co.uk) or our Facebook page for details.

Our churches will remain open for private prayer. Disabled access is now available at St John's via the back door. We kindly ask that you follow the guidelines posted at the back of each church.

He is available for home-visits or on the phone 01765 676298 and is always happy to stop and chat if you meet him out and about.
