I am reading through Book of Uther. I cannot seem to find the cathedral of Sarum. Is it removed?
Or was it transformed to the new abbey of the
Rock?

Yeah, It think the cathedral is not there during the reign of Uther. Comes in later — Boy King? Greg could answer with more authority.
Best,

It is an error to list him as a bishop so early.
He is promoted later, sometime in the middle Phase, and makes the cathedral.
Sarum isn't even classed as a city in the earliest stages, not even a market town
It was asked a while back with respect to Bishop of Salisbury and Greg said that the cathedral isn't there until later.
On my phone or I'd link the correct thread.
Edit: Here you go.

Ok! Thanks for the information, I just played through a prelude in 460-463 where I played it out as the Cathedral beeing partly built but not finished.
I think I'll just claim it like the cathedral was never finished, and when no romans where left to build it it just stayed half built. Until later when Arthur arrives they finish it.

Thanks! I'm actually planning an adventure or two around it. :)
One of them is when a local lord is has been stealing the stone from the cathedral in the night (anarchy). The other where they PK's need to find a roman architect to start rebuilding it.

There was a small and obscure order called the Gray Monks who were specialists in architecture
Perhaps look for one of those guys
