More about this scene
This superb minster church was founded before 956; the present church was started in 1108 by the Archbishop of York, and the west towers were completed by about 1150. Pairs of Norman west towers rarely survive intact; this example is even rarer in having Norman leaded pyramidal roofs. Admittedly, these are replicas dating from 1880 – the originals burned down in 1711. Southwell Minster became the Cathedral Church of the diocese in 1884.
