Norwich Cathedral - Church, City & Diocese 1096-1996
Edited by Ian Atherton, Eric Fernie, Christopher Harper-Bill and Hassell Smith
Norwich Cathedral, founded in 1096 by Bishop Herbert de Losinga, is of outstanding importance both architecturally and historically. Its archives, dating back to the time of its foundation, as well as the building itself, its decoration and contents, constitute an unbroken and fascinating record. Norwich Cathedral, 1096 - 1996 deals with all aspects of the church's history, both institutional and artistic. Written by experts, and heavily illustrated, it has been designed to be accessible to the general reader.
Always since its foundation the cathedra or seat of the bishop, Norwich Cathedral was also a Benedictine priory with extensive estates until the Reformation. Fortunate to escape wholesale Tudor spoliation, the estates were transferred in 1538 to a Dean and Chapter, who have controlled the church and its lands since then, except for eleven years between 1649 and 1660.
The building itself is Romanesque, augmented by later Gothic campaigns. It has of course undergone repair and modification throughout the centuries, both in detail and occasionally in substance. It nevertheless keeps its early identity essentially intact. Its contents, from all periods of its history but notably the middle ages, are themselves of great interest: the medieval roof bosses are uniquely rich, as are the wall paintings.
Published to mark the cathedral's 900th anniversary, Norwich Cathedral, 1096 - 1996 is likely to remain the main authority on its history.
