The Cathedral Church of Saint German or Peel Cathedral, rebranded as Cathedral Isle of Man is located in Peel, Isle of Man. The cathedral is also one of the parish churches in the parish of the West Coast which includes the town of Peel,〔Church Act 1980 and Western Pastoral Scheme 2012〕 and was built 1879-84.〔(Frances Coakley, ''Manx Note Book'' )〕 It was made the cathedral by Act of Tynwald in 1980.〔Cathedral Church Act 1980 (of Tynwald)〕 ==History== Patron of the Cathedral, St German of Man (not to be confused with Germanus of Auxerre), was a Celtic missionary and holy man who lived from about 410 to 474. St German’s day is celebrated on 13 July.〔("History", Cathedral Isle of Man )〕 The original cathedral of St German was inside the walls of Peel Castle and built sometime in the 12th century when St Patrick's Isle was in the possession of Norse kings. At that time the church followed the Sarum Rite, prevalent throughout mush of the British Isles. Around 1333 the Lords of Man refortified St. Patrick’s Island and occupied the church as a fortress. In 1392 William Le Scroop repaired the Cathedral.〔(Qualtrough, John K., "A field visit to Peel Castle & St. German's Cathedral", The Isle of Man College, May 2003 )〕 The building fell into ruin in the 18th century. After a considerable period of debate over who owned the ruins and site, the decision was eventually taken not to rebuild that cathedral. The present building was constructed 1879-84 to replace St Peter's Church in Peel's market place.〔("Unholy row erupts over St German's Cathedral plans", ''IOM Today'', 3 June 2009 )〕 In 1895, the bishop consecrated his chapel at the bishop's palace as pro-cathedral and instituted a chapter of canons with himself as dean. That arrangement (bishop as dean) persisted even after the consecration of the new cathedral. The cathedral has a dean and chapter.〔Church Act 1895 (of Tynwald), section 4〕 Until 15 October 2011, the Bishop of Sodor and Man was dean ''ex officio'', but on that date the vicar of the parish became dean ''ex officio'',〔Church Offices Measure (Isle of Man) 2011 (Statutory Document 624/11)(), amending Church Act 1895 section 4〕 as had been the historical arrangement from the 12th century until the late 19th.〔(BBC News – St German's Cathedral, Isle of Man: New dean installed )〕 The chapter consists of the Archdeacon of Man ''ex officio'' and four canons who are all parochial clergy in the Diocese. In July 2015, the Princess Royal, as patron of a development campaign regarding the Cathedral, attended a Thanksgiving Service at Peel Cathedral.〔("Princess Royal attends Service of Thanksgiving in Peel", BBC News, Ellan Vannin, 21 July 2015 )〕 St. German's Cathedral is the mother Church of the Diocese of Sodor and Man, which today consists of the Isle of Man.〔("St. German's.
