Durham Cathedral by David Brown
For over a millennium Durham has occupied a central place in English religious history, with its Norman rebuilding (1093-1133) marking it as an internationally significant masterpiece in the history of architecture. This volume offers a comprehensive account, on the founding, development, building and decoration of this important edifice.
‘The life as well as the liturgy of the cathedral is celebrated in photographs… This is a story told by 30 contributors, all witness to the pride of the place cathedrals retain in the community’—Marcus Binney, the Times.
