What an excellent appraisal and appreciation of this magnificent near-thousand year old building.

My home is right next to the cathedral, so relaxing hearing the bells 🔔

Just wanted to say thanks in the name of all art history students. I just got an A about gothic architecture and this together with official literature and notes really helped me grasp everything.

BRAVO! This is a very very good introduction, not only to Durham Cathedral in particular, but to Norman cathedral architecture in England.

This is one of my local cathedrals and it is indeed beautiful. The video is all the more interesting for the foreign commentary
Thank you

Am I the only one that every time they release a new video I find myself instantly doing research on the subject of the video?

[HolyPlaces]

Such a cool cathedral, and I have wanted to see it myself for such a long time!

Just discovered this channel! Love it. Yall did a fantastic job of switching monologs to keep it interesting and retain attention. (Not that I need it with such wonder architecture and design) but it should be noted none the less

I don't have a favorite building because... how could one choose? But it is one that I have to see in person some day. I saw the Parthenon in 2009 and it was even more spectacular than I could have imagined. If we weren't being herded like cattle, I could have stayed there all day.
In a way, I have been putting off visiting England because I think I would have to apply for temporary residency and a work visa to see everything I have to see. I mean Durham Cathedral alone would probably take a week.
People underestimate how lone I can stare at just one piece of stone.

Found out about this after reading “Vagabond” by Bernard Cornwell. Absolutely stunning!

From a plaque at Prebends Bridge across the River Wear, Sir Walter Scott's words about Durham:

Grey towers of Durham
Yet well I love thy mixed and massive piles
Half church of God, half castle ‘gainst the Scot
And long to roam these venerable aisles
With records stored of deeds long since forgot

[greggmcelhinney]
