Norwich Cathedral.
"Norwich Cathedral stands on the site of no earlier church:
it is to-day, in its plan and the general bulk of its detail, as
characteristically Norman as when left finished by the hand of Eborard, the second bishop of Norwich.
The church was founded by Herbert de Losinga, the first
bishop, as the cathedral priory of the Benedictine monastery in
Norwich; the foundation-stone was
laid in 1096 on a piece of land called Cowholme, meaning
a pasture surrounded by water, and the church was dedicated
to the Holy Trinity."
