Durham Castle and Cathedral 00:00:01
The incomparable setting of the medieval castle and the Cathedral of Durham in northern England close to Scotland explains its fame. 00:00:06
The grand building and towers overlook the river. 00:00:15
Durham Cathedral was completed during the 12th century. 00:00:20
The cathedral tower is 66 metres high. 00:00:24
The Norman building is large and solid. 00:00:28
It was built to show the power of England and intimidate neighbouring Scotland. 00:00:31
This altar is the centre point of the cathedral. 00:00:39
The golden altarpiece reaches towards heaven. 00:00:43
It represents the worship of God and the glory of the King of England. 00:00:49
Beside the altar is the cathedra, the bishop's throne. 00:00:59
The bishops of Durham had very special powers. 00:01:04
They were called Prince Bishops, and they had the same authority here as the King of England. 00:01:08
The building speaks of power and heritage. 00:01:16
Built between the 11th and the 12th centuries, it became an instantaneous architectural landmark. 00:01:20
Very thick columns, decorated in geometric patterns, support the cathedral. 00:01:28
The columns reached towards the ceiling, crossing each other like branches. 00:01:34
The bishops of Durham wielded immense power, and their residents reflected their authority. 00:01:42
This castle certainly served this purpose. 00:01:54
Durham Castle was built under the orders of the Norman King William the Conqueror. 00:01:58
This was the largest hall in England during the 15th century. The bishops of Durham protected 00:02:06
England from invasion from Scotland and local rebellions. They ruled the region and controlled 00:02:16
worldly matters as a representative of the King. The bishops living room has large tapestries 00:02:23
covering entire walls. 00:02:31
In those days, tapestry was so expensive 00:02:34
that it was said one tapestry could almost buy a castle. 00:02:37
The period of glory the bishops enjoyed 00:02:44
lasted over 750 years from the 11th to the 19th century. 00:02:46
