Cathedral Church Of The Holy Trinity

The Cathedral Church of the Holy Trinity, located in The Close, was established in 1833. The transepts, crypts, and part of the nave were constructed between 1079 and 1095 by Bishop Walkelyn. The original tower collapsed in 1107 and was rebuilt later. The retrochoir and Lady chapel date from the early 13th century and are designed in the Early English style. The nave was completely remodeled by Bishop Edington between 1345 and 1366, and later by William of Wykeham from 1366 to 1404, which involved a Perpendicular recasing of the Norman nave. The Cathedral is built from Isle of Wight stone and contains many significant furnishings from various periods, especially the Bishops' chantry chapels. Sir T G Jackson added flying buttresses on the south side between 1909 and 1912 as part of his overall restoration work. The listing also includes the Norman arcade, which once served as the entrance to the Chapter House and runs from the south transept to the Deanery. All listed buildings in The Close are considered to form a group.
