  Chester's former cathedral was saved from the reformation under Henry VIII by Queen Elizabeth I. It has Norman masonry dating back to around 1075 AD and an Elizabethan-era ceiling which saved it from destruction after the Reformation. The organ was commissioned and built by William Hill and Company in London and was used for Queen Victoria's coronation before being sent to Chester by barge.
