Durham Cathedral
Description
In 995 the body of St Cuthburt was moved from Lindesfarne to this location and a small shrine chapel was built. With the arrival of the Normans this was chosen as the ideal spot for a grand imposing cathedral. Building work went on for the standard couple of hundered years before the current structure was fully completed in the 15th Century. Inside the cathedral there are the usual selection of side chapels, the shrine chapel to St Cuthburt and a stunning rose window. You can also visit the beautiful cloister for views of the three towers from insdie the Cathedral complex
