More information:

Southwell Minster is a minster and cathedral in Southwell, Nottinghamshire, England. It is the seat of the Bishop of Southwell and Nottinghamshire. The Norman reconstruction of the Saxon church began in 1108. Many stones of the earlier church were used in the reconstruction. The church was completed by 1150. It was originally attached to the Archbishop of York's Palace which stood next door and only the ruins remain. It served as the archbishop as a place of worship and was a collegiate body of theological learning, hence its designation as a Minster. The octagonal Chapter house was added in the 13th century.
