Over 1,000 years Durham’s great beauty and history has inspired many architectural descriptions and guides. In this new book, author and historian Andrew Graham Stables takes the reader on a fascinating A–Z tour of the city’s history, through the cathedral’s darkened cloisters, the city’s narrow medieval streets and fascinating jumble of buildings and the river’s winding pathways, along the way relating many a tale of the most interesting people and places.
