Byline: Ian Parri visits St Asaph cathedral

IT must be the echoing sense of history in houses of worship that has even the agnostic and the out and out atheist gawping in hushed awe as they traipse around the aisles. I've witnessed it in St Basil's cathedral in Moscow, the Old Synagogue in Prague, and the Great Mosque in Kairouan, not to mention our own holiest Christian shrine: the magnificent St David's Cathedral.

And while St Asaph cathedral might be the smallest of Wales' mother churches, it boasts a history to match the most illustrious.

Comedian Dave Allen once joked he was "an atheist, thank God". Even he'd find it hard not to be touched by the atmosphere.
