Durham, Durham
In the last programme in this series, Alec Clifton-Taylor steps inside Durham
Cathedral where the 12th-century vaults have remained unscathed for eight-and-a-half centuries. With his absence of vertigo, he climbs to unlock the secrets of this 'finest
Romanesque building in the world'. The houses in the Cathedral's shadow receive equal scrutiny. Alec Clifton -Taylor died in April. Durham provides the most fitting of memorials. 'Make no mistake if, like me, you're hooked on buildings, you'll never come to the end of England.'
