"Bell's Cathedrals: The Cathedral Church of Norwich" by C. H. B. Quennell is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book serves as both a guide and a scholarly exploration of Norwich Cathedral, providing detailed descriptions of its architecture, history, and significance within the broader context of English cathedrals. Topics likely covered include the cathedral's Norman origins, construction phases, architectural details, as well as notable historical events relating to the site and its figures. The opening of the book introduces readers to the Cathedral Church of Norwich, detailing the cathedral's inception and its architectural features. It discusses the foundational role of Herbert de Losinga, the first bishop of Norwich, who established the cathedral after moving the see from Thetford in the late 11th century. Quennell acknowledges the complexities surrounding Herbert's character, touching upon his controversial rise to the position and his subsequent religious motivations for founding the cathedral. The narrative provides a historical overview of the cathedral's construction, including its design elements influenced by Norman architecture, and sets the stage for a deeper exploration of individual architectural details and the subsequent history of the cathedral in later chapters.
