Cathedrals · North East England
England's great cathedrals
From Norman austerity at Durham to Wren's dome at St Paul's.
The cathedrals of England are the country's oldest surviving complete buildings. Each is the headquarters of a diocese; each is also a museum of stone-cut history. You can see the architectural arc of a thousand years just by walking from Durham to Salisbury to St Paul's.
