1842 Original Art Engraving St. Asaph's Cathedral - West End AC6

All authors agree that Kentigern, bishop of Glasgow, was the founder of this see, upon occasion of his being driven out of Scotland, about the middle of the sixth century, and became the first bishop of it. After remaining here a few years he returned to Scotland, and made Asaph, one of his disciples, his successor in this see, who was an eminently holy and good man; and from him both the church and place have ever since been called St.
Asaph. He was remarkable, says Collier, for frequently repeating this sentence, «they who hinder the progress of God's Word, envy the happiness of mankind." He died A.D. 596, and from that time till the year 1143 there is no account of this church, nor of any of the bishops.
