About this Event

When it was completed in the 12th century, Norwich Cathedral was one of the most imposing buildings in England, a symbol of Norman piety – and power. But how did they build it? How was the ground plan for this mighty cathedral devised? How did the masons source, design, shape, mark and bond the stones to produce this wonderful building? And how did the woodworkers craft, mark and assemble the remarkable wooden furnishings?

Join us on this tour to discover the answers to the above questions, as well as some surprises along the way!

Ask at Norwich Cathedral’s reception desk in the Hostry where to meet.
