Norfolk, Norwich - Norwich Cathedral (65)

            Norwich Cathedral
Norwich Cathedral is dedicated to The Holy and Undivided Trinity.  Work began in 1096.  The Cathedral was constructed with flint and mortar then faced with Caen limestone.  Two churches plus a settlement were cleared to make room for the building.  The work was completed in 1145.  Originally there was a wooden spire, this was replaced in 1480, since then there have been no major alterations.
The Cloisters are the second largest in the country, Salisbury being the largest.  In the large cloister there are over 1,000 bosses of many different materials, painted and unpainted.  The large cloister was started in 1297 and completed in 1420 after the Black Death had raged the city.
The Spire is also the second highest in England, measuring 315ft.  The spire was replaced in 1463 when lightning struck and caused the building to set fire.
Like many churches in England it has had a chequered history.  The cathedral was damaged in riots in 1272, resulting in The City paying very heavy fines (In the reign of Henry III).  In 1643 a Puritan mob destroyed all the Roman Catholic symbols.  The building was then abandoned for two decades and was the site for many misuses, one of them a Musketeers ale house.  In the reign of Charles II (1660) the work of restoration began.
Within the church there are many famous people buried there, Nurse Edith Cavell for me, being the most notable.
