Since being the seat of a Church of England diocese is no longer sufficient or necessary to gain city status, a number of cathedral towns exist.
| Place | Cathedral | Diocese established | Population (Est) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Blackburn | Blackburn Cathedral | 1926 | 105,085 |
| Brecon | Brecon Cathedral | 1923 | 7,901 |
| Bury St Edmunds | St Edmundsbury Cathedral | 1914 | 35,015 |
| Guildford | Guildford Cathedral | 1927 | 70,000 |
| Rochester | Rochester Cathedral | historic; previously a city (see above) |
27,000 |
| Southwark | Southwark Cathedral | 1905 | 274,400 |
| Southwell | Southwell Minster | 1884 | 6,900 |
The 1911 Encyclopeædia Britannica refers to Southwell as a city.
In total there are 14 English and Welsh cities that have never had Anglican cathedrals within their borders – Brighton and Hove, Cambridge, Hull, Lancaster, Leeds, Nottingham, Plymouth, Preston, Salford, Southampton, Stoke-on-Trent, Sunderland, Swansea, and Wolverhampton.[1]
Bath Abbey was once a diocesan cathedral, as was كنيسة وستمنستر briefly during the reign of Henry VIII. These cities retained their city status despite their cathedrals losing that status.

The national church of Scotland, the Church of Scotland, is presbyterian in governance (not recognising authority of bishops), and thus has high kirks rather than cathedrals. However, the pre-Reformation dioceses do have extant cathedrals, some of which (such as that of St Andrews) are now in ruins.
As noted above, both Perth and Elgin were recognised as cities before 1975 (Perth's city status was restored in 2012). Additionally, five other pre-Reformation sees—Brechin, Dunblane, Dunkeld, Kirkwall and St Andrews—are often referred to as cities. Dornoch, Fortrose and Whithorn also possess pre-Reformation cathedrals.
Inverness, which was awarded city status in 2001, has never had a Church of Scotland cathedral. Stirling, which was awarded city status in 2002, has never had any cathedral.

In Northern Ireland, as noted above, possession of a diocesan cathedral has never (except in the anomalous case of Armagh) been sufficient to attain this status.
In spite of this, the 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica refers to Armagh (Armagh had lost city status in 1840) and Lisburn as cities. Armagh subsequently regained city status formally in 1994 and Lisburn achieved city status in 2002.
There are four towns in Northern Ireland with Church of Ireland cathedrals that do not have city status—Clogher, Downpatrick, Dromore and Enniskillen.
Newry is the only city in Northern Ireland that does not have a Church of Ireland cathedral within its borders.
