Durham Cathedral

A trip to Durham is not complete without visiting its cathedral.

Durham Cathedral is a Norman building constructed between 1093 and 1133 in the Romanesque style. It was founded as a monastic cathedral built to house the shrine of St Cuthbert, replacing an earlier church constructed in his honour. The stone vault of the nave of Durham Cathedral is considered an architectural milestone.

HBM, enjoy the day.

Then you missed something my friend. Our few hours were scant indeed to study such a fine building and its history.

HWW, enjoy the week. Herb
