The parish church dedicated to St. Bar stood to the east of the present Cathedral and apparently served the town from at least 1223 until the early seventeenth century. About this time, the cathedral, which had been badly damaged by a gale in 1605 and fire in 1570, was partially restored to serve as the parish church. About 1926 foundations at NH 7976 8969 were uncovered by a gravedigger which may have belonged to the tolbooth which stood near the site between 1730-1813, but are locally believed to have been those of the church (Ordnance Survey Record Cards, Reference NH 78 NE 18).
