Brief Description of Website

St Paul's Cathedral -
www.stpauls.co.uk

Everyone knows of St Paul's Cathedral but did you know that the man that commenced the building of the Priory in 1094, Ranulf Flambard, was previously Dean of St Paul's?

Durham Cathedral - www.durhamcathedral.co.uk

 

Flambard went on to become Bishop of Durham Cathedral in 1099, whilst work continued on the Priory by his successors. If Flambard hadn't had gone to Durham, the Priory may have been completed exclusively in Norman style, but then it would have lost its charm of having many different periods of architectural style in one building.
