Durham Cathedral: Britain's Best Buildings

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

Combining Gothic and Romanesque architecture,
Durham Cathedral is one of the most majestic in Britain. But even this magnificent building has its imperfections - notably a deviant column in the south transept, regarded as a pleasing error. Dan Cruickshank discovers how sacred geometry and the art of decoding medieval buildings can explain the reasons for this anomaly.
Producer Ben McPherson ; Executive producer Basil Comely BBC BOOK: Britain's Best Buildings, by Dan Cruickshank , is available, L25
