Renaming

No idea why Vox Humana 8' removed the proposed discussion, but please can we not rename this page again without some discussion actually taking place. Because of the edit history I couldn't revert the dysfunctional and undiscussed new name to what it was before, but have gone as close as I could (the difference is "St Chad's " vs "St. Chad's".

References needed

Can we have a reference to the story of the bones and their various travels? Because the story is longish and no doubt all comes from a single source, rather than putting in a ref after every sentence, it's best to state "According to blah-de-blah ....." and then just have a single reference for the whole tale, unless this info has been collected from a couple of sources.

If the bones were divided into two packages, is there any evidence of what happened to the other package, or were they reunited? Who did the stray bone belong to? (I ask out of curiosity, rather than as a suggestion that this should be part of the history.)

There are a couple of other points, such as the carbon dating that need citation.
A photo of the interior, of the altar or of a stained glass window by Hardman would be a veryy niice asset.

First RC cathedral built after the Reformation?

This needs a citation. St George's Southwark and St Chad's Birmingham can't both be the first since the reformation, but both Wikipedia entries make the same claim. C0pernicus (talk) 23:08, 9 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

They were both among the first four raised to be cathedrals on 21 April 1852 (with Nottingham and Salford): have fixed this and provided references. Lyndwood (talk) 17:53, 22 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
