As you enter the virtual environment you’re greeted by the high alter, the Cathedral’s majestic open central space. From there, it’s up to your which area to next explore in the virtual tour.
Many people think the Cathedral is a modern build because of its extensive renovations. However, there was an angel stone embedded in the south porch of the building which dated back to a Saxon church in 700AD. The neo gothic renovations and modern additions only serve to make the building an even more fascinating patchwork of history.
