Llandaff Cathedral in Cardiff involved several architects. John Wood the Elder worked on it from 1734 but never completed his scheme, T. H. Wyatt and John Prichard restored it from 1841 to 1869, and Charles Nicholson and George Pace rebuilt it after 1941. The cathedral chapter was the client.
The infobox gives 1120 as the founding date. The text says work began in 1120 under Bishop Urban, with extensive construction from 1193 to 1218 and the west front dated to 1220. It also calls the current building 12th-century, which conflicts. The article calls the style medieval Gothic, with Somerset Dundry stone, blue lias, Pennant sandstone, concrete, and Welsh slate and lead roofs.
A Blitz mine in 1941 damaged it, and it reopened in 1958. It is an active Church in Wales cathedral and parish church, and the seat of Bishop Mary Stallard. The article gives no hours.
