This is a list of former or once proposed cathedrals in Great Britain. The term former cathedral in this list includes any Christian church in Great Britain which has been the seat of a bishop, but is not so any longer. The status of a cathedral, for the purpose of this list, does not depend on whether the church concerned is known to have had a formal throne nor whether a formal territory or diocese was attached to the church. Before the development of dioceses, which began earlier in England than in Scotland and Wales, [s]uch bishops as there were either lived in monasteries or were 'wandering bishops'. This list therefore includes early bishop's churches . A former cathedral may be the building that lost its cathedral status or its site, whether now vacant or not. The loss of status may be because that bishopric is extinct, or was relocated. Sometimes a new cathedral was built near an older one, with the older building then used for other purposes, or demolished. Such a building or site counts as a former cathedral. Where a cathedral is modified or rebuilt on substantially the same site in a series of developments over time, the earlier versions are not counted here as former cathedrals. A former pro-cathedral is a church or former church which was once a temporary cathedral officially performing that role until its expected replacement by an intended permanent cathedral took place, usually by completion of a new cathedral built for that purpose. A once proposed cathedral is a church which was on some past occasion proposed as a future cathedral, but for some reason that particular proposal failed. In some cases, a later proposal succeeded and the church then became the seat of a bishop .
