Durham's romanesque cathedral rises majestically above a bend in the river Wear and is thought by some to be the finest cathedral in England. Durham itself is a city of remarkable architectural complexity - standing in the courtyard of Durham castle, the visitor can see building work dating from every century from the 11th to the 19th. In this book, the diverse collection of buildings is dearly explained and examined by Martin Roberts, who traces Durham's history from its beginnings right up to the present day.
