The Norman tower of Winchester Cathedral which sits squarely at the crossing point of this beautiful old building. It was typically Norman (and Saxon) to build their great churches in this cruciform plan with a central tower. Here we can see the round-arched Norman windows in the belfry and the transept. The nave windows are of later perpendicular design. The cathedral as we see it dates from 1079 - 1532 and replaced two previous Saxon Minster churches.
