We packed our bags and made our pilgrimage way to Southwell Minster which began life as a Saxon minster and is one of the better examples of the Norman massive building style. The village is worth a visit and the minster is simple magnificent. The round arches and massive columns create an aw inspiring space. Add to this a torrential downpour, thunder and dim daylight and you are transported. All at once sinister and sacred; uplifting and littleling. Quite brilliant!Tea and cakes at one of the cafes round off a satisfying trip into deepest Nottinghamshire.
