 Perth (reinstated 2012) has an Episcopal cathedral dating from 1860, but no pre-Reformation establishment.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.
