In
1084, Wulstan, the only Anglo-Saxon bishop to remain at his post after
the Norman Conquest of 1066, began rebuilding Worcester Cathedral,
starting with the crypt, some of which still survives in its primitive
form. Building work continued for nearly three centuries: the two
western bays of the nave were rebuilt in 1170. In or around 1202, the
central tower collapsed and eventually had to be rebuilt. King John
was buried at Worcester in 1216; his tomb is visible in the choir
in the view above. In the fourteenth century the central nave was
completely rebuilt. The central tower and cloisters were completed
by 1374.14 miles)
