Durham Cathedral was completed nearly 900 years ago, after 40 years
of construction. Inevitably it has suffered from the effects of
time: physical erosion, from the weather and increasing pollution
on stone that was never of the best quality, and cultural erosion,
the impact of secular and religious changes - not least the
depredations of clerics, improvers, and administrators.
Nevertheless, it remains: the stones speak and provide the story of
themselves. Building Durham Cathedral explores this magnificent
structure by questioning its architectural plans and stonework. As
there have been minimal additions we catch sight of it as the
Norman builders intended. Remarkably, a few early documents and the
stonework itself allow us to glimpse its beginnings and some of the
personalities involved. Questions remain, but there may even be a
clue to the identity of its original master mason.
