Cloisters at Norwich Cathedral, UK. Thanks to HDR and a bit of jiggery pokery I managed to retain some information from within the courtyard and the cloisters opposite, as well as both archways. The on on the right was actually in deep shadow and the one on the left was glowing bright orange. It didn't even look 'real' so saturation was decreased.

Norwich has two Cathedrals, the Roman Catholic Cathedral, (St. John the baptist - picture of this coming soon) and this one which is Church of England.

Norwich Cathedral has the second largest cloisters, only outsized by Salisbury Cathedral. The cathedral close is the largest in England and one of the largest in Europe and has more people living within it than any other close.

The cathedral was begun in 1096 and constructed out of flint and mortar and faced with a cream-coloured Caen limestone. A Saxon settlement and two churches were demolished to make room for the buildings. The cathedral was completed in 1145 with the Norman tower still seen today topped with a wooden spire covered with lead. Several episodes of damage necessitated rebuilding of the east end and spire but since the final erection of the stone spire in 1480 there have been few fundamental alterations to the fabric.

The large cloister has over 1,000 bosses including several hundred carved and ornately painted ones. The cathedral is on the lowest part of the Norwich river plain with Mousehold Heath, an area of scrubland, to the north.[citation needed]

The cathedral spire, measuring at 315 ft or 96 m, is the second tallest in England despite being partly rebuilt after being struck by lightning in 1169, just 23 months after its completion, which led to the building being set on fire. Measuring 461 ft or 140.5 m long and, with the transepts, 177 ft or 54 m wide at completion, Norwich Cathedral was the largest building in East Anglia. see: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norwich_Cathedral
