Bishop Herbert laid the foundation stone at the very east end of the building in 1096. The riverside location of the Cathedral complex is quite deliberate. Lack of local freestone and the inaccessibility of the Northamptonshire quarries meant that the majority of the stone used to construct the new Cathedral had to be imported from Caen in Normandy. The building is in the Romanesque style, the architectural style which was widespread from the late tenth to the twelfth century across the western church, also known in England as ‘Norman’ style. The stone was sailed up the eastern seaboard as far as the port of Great Yarmouth, then up the River Wensum to a specially constructed canal which led directly into the masons’ yard. The riverside location also ensured the ready provisioning of the monastery Bishop de Losinga founded to serve his Cathedral. A significant Saxon settlement, including two churches, was demolished and the sloping ground terraced to make way for this 44 acre, walled enclosure. : 2013, Cathedral, Holiday, Nokia Pureview 808, Norwich, building, city, kaupunki, kesäloma, matka, rakennus, religion, travel, uskonto
