Bangor Cathedral in Gwynedd had a major restoration supervised by George Gilbert Scott from 1868, which the infobox and text agree on. The article names no client, though it names King Gruffudd ap Cynan as an early 12th-century funder and Lord Penrhyn as giving 2,000 pounds toward the 1879 work. The infobox gives a founding and dedication of AD 525, while the text says the monastery was established around 530.
The text says the earliest part of the present building dates to Bishop David's time, 1120 to 1139, and that nothing of the original building survives. The infobox lists Romanesque and Gothic. The text describes a Norman cruciform church, a 13th-century choir, a late 14th-century nave and a tower completed in 1532. Scott's planned high tower and spire were never completed.
Raiders sacked it in 634 and 1073, and King John's army destroyed it in 1211. The article names no materials and gives no hours.
