'...the best cathedral on planet Earth', according to Bill Bryson, Durham's magnificent Norman Cathedral is one of the most famous and well-loved religious buildings in the United Kingdom. This brilliant historical tour by John Field tells the story of Durham Cathedral through the words of kings, prince-bishops, priests and chroniclers. His account brings to life not only the big events of history, but also the day-to-day existence of the Cathedral and its people, from monastic times to the present day. The book is spectacularly illustrated, incorporating many reproductions from ancient illuminations and paintings, as well as specially commissioned photography of the Cathedral and its environs. This will be an exceptional and unforgettable souvenir for everyone with an interest in this historic Cathedral, now recognized as a World Heritage Site and visited by over half a million people every year.
