Building

The 12th Century Norman building evolved slowly into a Gothic cathedral, beginning in 1195. This building was much destroyed at the Reformation and during the Civil War but George Gilbert Scott, the Cathedral Architect between 1855 & 1878, restored it to its medieval splendour. Of special interest are the Gothic Nave, the magnificent Herkenrode glass of the Lady Chapel, the medieval pedilavium of the Vestibule, the Kempe glass of the Chapter House and the Skidmore Screen of the Crossing.
