Southwell Minster

|
Southwell began life as a Saxon manor, but in the 10th century it was granted to the Archbishop of York. The remains of the London palace of the archbishops of York can be seen next to the cathedral. The present church was begun in 1108, and it remains one of the best examples of the Romanesque style in England. That said, the chief reason to visit Southwell is its remarkable carving, notably on the pulpitum, but especially in the 13th century chapter house. Decorative foliage festoons the 36 stalls and the capitals of the chapter house and the corridor and vestibule leading to it. The botanical precision of the carvings is extraordinary: grace and beauty evoked from cold stone.
