Review:

There have been churches on or near the site of the minster for 1400 years. The current cross-shaped cathedral was built from 1080-1100 but continued to be altered over the next 400 years. It was finally reconsecrated in 1472. It has been severely damaged by fire four times but fortunately suffered no war damage. The magnificent collection of over 100 stained glass windows were removed for safe-keeping during both world wars. The minster has a collection of 300000 objects, representing 2000 years of church history. Volunteers offer lunch time talks on the stained glass, guided tours, tower trips and Hidden Minster tours.
