Norwich Cathedral

This is the second largest and most beautiful Norman church in England, after Durham Cathedral. Its construction began in 1096 and lasted four centuries. The cathedral has three naves, and is 130 meters long. It was constructed from two types of stones, one more smooth and clear, imported from Caen in France, and the other gray, from Barnack in Northamptonshire. Behind the cathedral is another interesting site, Bishop Bridge, the only remaining medieval bridge. It was built in the thirteenth century by the Church to control the eastern entrance of the city.
