Answer:

The Durham Cathedral houses the shrine of St Cuthbert.

Step-by-step explanation:

Durham Cathedral was built for the storage of St Cuthbert's relics. It replaced the smaller (and older) church that housed the shine originally.

It was founded as a monastic cathedral built to house the shrine of St Cuthbert, replacing an earlier church constructed in his honour.
