caption_attribution_description: English: St David’s Cathedral and Bishop’s Palace St David’s Cathedral, a site of worship since around 600 AD.
context_page_description: Roger Maynwaring, variously spelt Mainwaring or Manwaring, was an bishop in the Church of England, censured by Parliament in 1628 for sermons seen as undermining the law and constitution.
  His precise motives for doing so remain unclear; unlike William Laud, he was not an Arminian, and many contemporaries believed he did so for preferment. He became bishop of St Davids in 1636; in 1641, the Long Parliament issued a warrant for his arrest, and he fled to Ireland.
  He returned to England in July 1642, shortly before the First English Civil War began, and retired to Brecon in Wales, where he died in June 1653.
