John Field traces the development of this magnificent Norman cathedral in the North East of England through the words of kings, prince-bishops, priests and chroniclers. His lively account brings to life not only the dramatic events of the past, but also the day-to-day existence of the cathedral and its people, from monastic times to the present day. The building, described by Bill Bryson in his Notes from a Small Island as "...the best cathedral on planet earth", includes newly commissioned photography of the cathedral and its treasures, along with a substantial number of beautiful archive images.Third, Millennium is the author of 'Durham Cathedral Light of the North', published 2007 under ISBN 9781903942673 and ISBN 1903942675.
