As a supplement to Adrien's talk, here is an oldie but a goodie on Herbert De Losinga the man who instigated the building of Norwich Cathedral. So who was he? When and why did he come over from Normandy to England? How much did he pay the king to become Bishop of Thetford? And when did he move his diocese to Norwich and commence the building of Norwich Cathedral? This article also describes the riot of 1272, what caused the riot and the aftermath including the remodelling of the cloister. You can read on about the history of the cathedral through until modern times. To find out the answers to these questions and more related information please select the following link:
