Cathedral Reflection: Southwell Minster

There was a proposal in 1540 that Southwell Minster become a cathedral, and 344 years later, in 1884 it became the cathedral for Nottingham and parts of Derbyshire, including the city of Derby. In 1927, the Diocese of Derby was created. The Diocese of Southwell and Nottingham has around 300 churches in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire and two in South Yorkshire.
