Breton Cathedral is a cathedral under the Anglican Church of Wales, located in the market town of Brecon, Powys, mid-Wales. It is widely regarded as one of the country's finest buildings. It is thought to be built upon the site of an earlier Celtic church, converted into the Benedictine Priory of St John the Evangelist by the Normans and at the dissolution of the monasteries in 1538 it became Brecon’s Parish Church. It finally became a Cathedral in 1923. It is mentioned once in the excerpt from Peter Finch's Real Wales, among numerous other locations in Wales ranging from national importance e.g. landmarks to personal importance according to Finch.
