Norwich Cathedral: a time-traveller's guide
The Dean & Chapter of Norwich Cathedral, Chapter Office, 65 The Close, Norwich, Norfolk, NR1 4DH
Although Norwich Cathedral is the most intact Norman cathedral in the country, there have been many changes to the Romanesque structure which came to completion in 1145 – less than 50 years since its construction began. This tour of the building's interior will consider the many ways in which repairs and rebuilding following natural and self-inflicted disasters, religious imperatives, as well as deliberate modernisation and beautification have, over the last 900 years, shaped the great building we see today. Saxon, Roman, Norman, Medieval, Tudor, Cromwellian, Georgian, Victorian 20th and even 21st century hands have all touched and altered the original fabric. Norwich Cathedral is truly a palimpsest which can take the interested visitor on a time-travel experience.
