    Having completed a city walk we had lunch in the refectory , on a summer day it would be a great outdoor venue in the garden. The staff made us welcome and no trouble to reserve a table. The choice of...  more »

    Not as old as the Church beginning 1890, has a shop and a restaurant (not expensive) visit!

    Amazing to visit a cathedral built at the expense of the Duke of Norfolk. Liked the boards giving the history of the building. Huge and imposing but rather stark.

    I am a Catholic, but I dont feel very welcome here, I have had 2 bad experiences now, from the same group of ladies. I wouldnt recommend this religious community. Really really sad.

    My third visit but sadly it was closed to the public yet again. The outside of the cathedral is very majestic but sadly very blackened by air pollution. From what I did see briefly inside looked impressive but it just never seems to be open. Maybe I am just unlucky. Will look to update this review one day.

    Was expecting this place to be a lot busier but it was empty when we got there. Only a few other people inside which was great as the place was very tranquil and allowed for great photo shots. Some great gothic architecture in this building however there was very little in information on the history of the building which seemed like a lost opportunity. Along the aisles was lots of information on other cathedrals in other countries which seemed unnecessary and would have preferred if they focused on their own history would have been more fascinating to me personally.
