The 12 great English cathedrals
From Norman austerity at Durham to Wren's dome at St Paul's.
England's 12 great cathedrals span the architectural arc from Norman Romanesque (Durham, 1093) to English Baroque (St Paul's, 1710). Each is the centrepiece of a city and the home of a working choir. You can tour them all in a fortnight, though seven of them comfortably fit a week from a base in central England.
