On
P-day we went to the Cathedral here. It was really good!!! My favourite one I
have been in, to be honest. Cool fact: The flag is from the Napoleonic wars.
Internet facts about the cathedral:
Norwich Cathedral is the cathedral
church for the Church of England Diocese of Norwich. It was begun in 1096 and
constructed out of flint and mortar and faced with a cream-coloured Caen
limestone. A Saxon settlement and two churches were demolished to make room for
the buildings. The cathedral was completed in 1145 with the Norman tower still
seen today topped with a wooden spire covered with lead. The cathedral spire,
measuring at 315 ft. or 96 m, is the second tallest in England despite being
partly rebuilt after being struck by lightning in 1169, just 23 months after
its completion, which led to the building being set on fire. Several episodes
of damage necessitated rebuilding of the east end and spire but since the final
erection of the stone spire in 1480 there have been few fundamental alterations
to the fabric.
