Durham Cathedral
On our way back to Grantham from Berwick upon Tweed we decided to stop in Durham to walk around the Cathedral. We hadn't visited the city since 1998 when we had a short break to take in the beautiful architecture. The Cathedral Church of Christ, Blessed Mary the Virgin and St Cuthbert of Durham is the seat of the Anglican Bishop of Durham. The Bishopric dates from 995, with the present cathedral being founded in AD 1093. The cathedral is regarded as one of the finest examples of Norman architecture and has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site along with nearby Durham Castle, which faces it across Palace Green. Here are some of the images from our short stay in Durham The entrance to Durham Castle For more information on Durham Cathedral CLICK HERE All images taken on a Fujifilm Finepix X100 with 23mm f2 Fujinon lens and WCL-X100 wide angle converter -----------------------------------------------------------------------------...
