Kullanılamıyor sanırım. Vaftizci Yahya Kilisesi, Erken Orta Çağ'da İngiltere'nin Cheshire kentindeki Chester'da bulunan eski bir katedraldir . İlk olarak 7. yüzyılın sonlarında Anglo-Saksonlar tarafından kurulan kilise , Chester şehir surlarının dışında, Dee Nehri'nin kuzey kıyısının üzerindeki bir uçurumda yer almaktadır Günümüzde Cheshire'daki 11.-12. yüzyıl kilise mimarisinin en iyi örneği olarak kabul edilmektedir ve bir zamanlar 1075'ten 1095'e kadar Lichfield Piskoposunun makamıydı. Kilise, piskoposluk 1082'de Coventry'ye taşınana kadar Chester katedrali olarak kaldı . 16. yüzyıldaki İngiliz Reformu ile birlikte, 1541'de ayrı bir Chester Piskoposluğu kuruldu ; eski Chester Manastırı, Chester Katedrali oldu ve Vaftizci Yahya dini önemini kaybetti. Doğu kanadı kısmen yıkıldı ve statüsü bir bölge kilisesine indirildi. Elizabeth I döneminde onarımlar yapılmış olsa da , kilise 1645'te Chester kuşatması sırasında İngiliz İç Savaşı'nda Roundheads tarafından garnizon olarak kullanıldı. 19. yüzyılın ortalarından sonlarına doğru yapılan restorasyonlar, günümüzdeki kiliseyi daha büyük ortaçağ binasının kalıntıları içinde oluşturdu. Alan, I. Derece koruma altındaki bina olarak belirlenmiş ve İngiltere Ulusal Miras Listesi'nde kayıtlıdır. Vaftizci Yahya Kilisesi , Chester piskoposluğunda, Chester başdiyakozluğunda ve Chester dekanlığında aktif bir İngiltere Kilisesi cemaat kilisesi olmaya devam ediyor. Tarihçi Alec Clifton-Taylor, onu 'en iyi' İngiliz cemaat kiliseleri listesine dahil ediyor.

Great church & ruins lots of history, definitely worth a visit.

Beautiful church. Loved all the artifacts they had in there, and the gift shop was nice. Loved the ruins at the back of the church too.
