Wales’ oldest city marks 1,500 years with rare manuscript exhibition at Bangor cathedral
[The Church in Wales] An exhibition at Bangor University will mark 1500 years of Bangor Cathedral with rare manuscripts and archival treasures.
Curated by the Archives and Special Collections at Bangor University, this major exhibition marks 1,500 years since St. Deiniol founded his monastery in Bangor in 525 AD. The city’s name comes from the fence, called a “bangor,” that Deiniol built to enclose his community of prayer. Fifteen hundred years later, the cathedral continues to serve the city that grew up around this original settlement.
