King's Lynn Minster

King's Lynn Minster
King's Lynn Minster (St Margaret's) is a Grade I listed parish church of the Church of England in King's Lynn. The church was established by Herbert de Losinga, Bishop of Norwich in 1095 to serve a Benedictine Priory and dedicated to St Margaret of Antioch.

Architecturally, the slender 12th-century south-west tower in the Early English Gothic style predates the larger north-west tower in the Perpendicular style of the 15th century. The central lantern and south-west spire collapsed in 1741, which destroyed much of the nave. This was reconstructed in a programme of rebuilding between 1745-46 by the architect Matthew Brettingham. The oldest bell is a Sanctus bell dating from 1657 by Thomas Norris. The main ring of 10 bells is in the key of C with a tenor weighing just over 28 cwt.

The inside of this church was illuminated on the outside using laser lights last Christmas, it was a superb display especially the stained glass windows.

A great capture Amelia. I must have walked around here too, once, many years back on a day's visit. You say old English but has a Norman look about it too.

Best Wishes, Herb
