The first church was built here in about 700AD. Then the Normans built the first cathedral soon after the invasion of 1066. This was then rebuilt in a gothic style in 1340. The building has been besieged several times during the English Civil War it suffered great damaged but was mended soon after the war finished. The cathedral was then restored again in the 19th century to roughly what you see today.
It's the only English medieval cathedral with three spires.
The cathedral is normally open to visitors from 10:00 - 17:00 on Mon to Sat and 12:00 - 17:00 on Sundays.
