WikiProject Anglicanism To-do:

[edit] Wrong

This is my first comment on Wikipedia, so I may disobey all kinds of rules, but I wish to object to the inaccuracy of the central paragraph of this article.

Five of the seven bays of the cathedral were actually destroyed by the Scottish Presbyterian Army during the Civil War, to provide stone for the reinforcement of the castle. This army had even less respect for madieval architecture than Oliver Cromwell himself. Charles Edward Stuart, whose supporters were Catholic, never did any damage to this or any other medieval cathedral. After their defeat the Jacobites were held prisoner in the castle, not the cathedral, prior to their execution.
