The present cathedral was begun by Bishop Gundulf in 1080 on the site of a much earlier building. Only the nave and crypt survive from Gundulf's norman church, the cathedral has grown over the centuries. The original spire was removed in 1823 and only replaced with the present one in 1904. This view is from near the castle grounds, looking east.
