<p> an ancient city of England, on the river Dee, founded by the Romans. In the 13th century it had several monasteries, a college, and the hospitals of St. Anne and of St. John Baptist, the latter of which remains to this day. Under [[Henry]] VIII the [[Church]] of the monastery of St. Wesburgh became the [[Cathedral]] for the new see of Chester, which took in [[Cheshire]] (from the diocese of Litchfield) and [[Lancashire]] (from the diocese of York). The revenues of the dissolved monasteries were made a provision for the bishop, dean, and chapter. The present (1867) bishop is [[William]] Jacobson, DD., consecrated in 1865. </p> | <p> an ancient city of England, on the river Dee, founded by the Romans.
