Southwark Cathedral - A Wonder Of Visit

The earliest reference to the site was in the Domesday Book survey of 1086, wherein the "minster" of Southwark seems to be under the control of Bishop Odo of Bayeux (William the Conqueror's half-brother). It is unlikely that this minster pre-dates the conversion of Wessex in the mid-seventh century, or the foundation of the "burh" ca AD 886.
Southwark Cathedral is situated on a very historic site. It is believed that there has been a church here for over 1000 years. Prior to that there was a Roman villa. Some of its pavement has been incorporated into the floor. In 1977 a well was discovered beneath the choir, it contained a pagan statue believed to have been put there in the fourth century.
Southwark Cathedral is having so much glamour itself and the cause of adjacent attractive memories, a chapel commemorates John Harvard, benefactor of Harvard University, and there are regular choral services allowing the cathedral's fine Lewis Organ to display its magnificence. 'The Long View of London' exhibition is a permanent feature housed in the former Chapter House buildings. It traces the history of Southwark via the changing view recorded through centuries from the top of the cathedral tower. A long tradition of choral music continues to this day in the cathedral's fine choir and with regular performances of the great choral works.
