Durham City is a remarkable place, a priceless historical gem and,
deservedly, a World Heritage Site. Over 1,000 years Durham's great
beauty and history has inspired many architectural descriptions and
guides. This book follows in their footsteps but then takes a
different path. Wandering through the cathedral's darkened
cloisters, the city's narrow medieval streets and the river's
winding pathways, Secret City of Durham is one man's view of this
famed peninsula - an occasionally quirky tour through history that
looks beyond the iconic architecture and behind the fascinating
jumble of city buildings. The author peels back their facades to
reveal the bewildering changes and on the way points out the
lesser-known facts and characters associated with them. What points
the way to Durham Cathedral and St Cuthbert's tomb and where can it
be found? Who lived in Windy Gap? Why St Mary-the-'Less'? Secret
City of Durham answers these fascinating questions and many more in
a modern pilgrimage through the city.
