Bishop Herbert de Losinga laid the cathedral foundation stone in 1096, alongside the river. This location seems to have been deliberate, as the river ensured provision for the monastery that the Bishop founded in conjunction with the cathedral. The Norman cathedral and its cloister were completed by 1145 under Bishop Evorard de Montgomery. During the thirteenth century, Norwich cathedral was extended at its Eastern End, with the addition of a Lady Chapel. The Lady Chapel has been destroyed, leaving Norwich cathedral as one of the few English cathedrals with the original apse almost intact. During the following centuries, Norwich cathedral was ruined by wars, fires and hurricanes, then rebuilt and extended to achieve the present complex and magnificent construction. The cathedral is enriched by beautiful treasures, such as the carved rose bosses on the ceilings, the misericords in the Choir and many paintings that cover a period between the Middle Ages and the modern times. The picture was drawn by Robert Garland (1808?-1863), architect; and engraved by Benjamin Winkles.
