| Publisher Description: 'Near the south side, where the river fetches itself around, stands the cathedral church high up, making a solemn and a sightly show, with a high tower in the middle, and two spires at the west end.'William Camden's description of Durham, published in 1610, provides a fascinating snapshot of the county as it was over four hundred years ago. Camden's account also delves into the history of the bishopric, 'out of the depth of antiquity'. |
