Ripon Cathedral plans St Wilfrid 1,350th anniversary commemorative stone
Ripon Cathedral has unveiled plans for a commemorative stone to mark the 1,350th anniversary of St Wilfrid’s church.
The stone would be installed at the cathedral to mark St Wilfrid and his “long lasting influence” on the city.
Ripon Cathedral has submitted the plan to Harrogate Borough Council as part of a listed building application.
According to documents submitted to the authority, the stone would be made from black polished limestone.
It would include Wilfrid’s date of birth and death and stars which were his insignia.

In documents submitted to the council, the cathedral said:
Harrogate Borough Council will make a decision on the plan at a later date.
