The original church was founded by King
Edmund in around 943 as a royal collegiate
church however there is no trace of its
existence today.
The current cathedral dates back from the
14th century although it appears to be based
on an earlier medieval building which
drawings show was about the same size as
the present church. One theory is it became
structurally unstable and was pulled down.
The tower dates from 1510 to 1530 and was
built in the popular perpendicular gothic style
of the time.
Derby Cathedral became a cathedral by
Royal Charter in 1927.
