| Summary | "Bell's Cathedrals: The Cathedral Church of Durham" by Joseph E. Bygate is a historical account likely written in the late 19th century. This work serves as both a detailed guide and an informative narrative of the Cathedral of Durham, its architectural significance, and its historical background, making it suitable for both tourists and scholars interested in ecclesiastical architecture and history. The opening of the book sets the scene for discussing the majestic beauty and historical significance of Durham Cathedral, positioning it as a remarkable structure in both England and on the European continent. Bygate outlines the early history of Durham, from its origins in the ancient kingdom of Northumbria to the introduction of Christianity in the region. He highlights key figures such as Saint Cuthbert, whose relics are central to the cathedral's history, and traces the establishment of the cathedral from various legends and historical records, establishing a framework for the subsequent chapters that promise detailed descriptions of its fabric and history.
