Southwell Minster
Step inside Southwell’s cathedral for its Norman nave and finely carved medieval chapter house, a rewarding architectural excursion into the market town northeast of Nottingham.
Nottingham / Your next move
Bring this chapter to life.
Keep exploring Nottingham with our travel partners.
The broad Norman nave and the delicate foliage carving of the chapter house offer two very different ways of looking at medieval craftsmanship. Take time to compare the scale of the building with the small details of the Leaves of Southwell. This remains a working cathedral, and services can change access to individual spaces.
What to look for
A broad Norman nave gives the interior its monumental scale.
Medieval foliage carvings decorate the chapter house.
