Summary:

"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." "Published to mark the cathedral's 900th anniversary, Norwich Cathedral, 1096-1996 is likely to remain the main authority on its history."--Jacket.
