A cathedral is the principle church in a diocese. It is where the bishop of that diocese is based. An abbey is a church (and its associated buildings and grounds) which is occupied by a community of monks or nuns and ruled over by an abbot or an abbess. A minster was a mother church for an area - the central place from where priests went out to serve in the surrounding daughter churches. The minster system of churches flourished during the Saxon period in England, and has long since died out. However, some churches retain the name of minster, even though they no longer serve that role (one example of this is York Minster). Similaraly, there are some churches which used to be abbeys, and still retain the name, even though they are no longer used by monks. Examples include Westminster Abbey, Dorchester Abbey and Malmesbury Abbey.

1) A cathedral is the biggest and most important church building in a diocese. Its name comes from the Latin word "cathedra", meaning chair, as it will normally contain a special seat for the bishop when he is present.
2) A minster is also a large church building. It was originally the church attached to an abbey or chapter, which would be presided over by an abbot, as opposed to a bishop.
It takes its name from the Old English word "mynster" or "monastery", which in turn comes from the Latin word "ministerium", meaning service or office. This is because services were said at set times in the minster.
3) An abbey was originally a community of monks presided over by an abbot. Where the community was a large one, it would be more or less self-sufficient. The abbeys which have survived today have lost their substantial lands.

A cathedral (from the Latin "cathedra", meaning "chair") is the central church of a diocese and is the bishop of said diocese's seat.
A minster is usually a church associated with a university, but is sometimes used as a name for cathedrals as well.
An abbey is a monastery or a convent.
