"Durham is one of the great experiences of Europe to the eyes of those who appreciate architecture, and to the minds of those who understand architecture. The group of Cathedral, Castle, and Monastery on the rock can only be compared to Avignon and Prague."
— Nikolaus Pevsner, The Buildings of England
"I paused upon the bridge, and admired and wondered at the beauty and glory of this scene...
it was grand, venerable, and sweet, all at once; I never saw so lovely and magnificent a scene,
nor, being content with this, do I care to see a better."
— Nathaniel Hawthorne on Durham Cathedral, The English Notebooks
'With the cathedral at Durham we reach the incomparable masterpiece of Romanesque architecture not only in England but anywhere. The moment of entering provides for an architectural experience never to be forgotten, one of the greatest England has to offer.'
— Alec Clifton-Taylor, 'English Towns' series on BBC television.
"I unhesitatingly gave Durham my vote for best cathedral on planet Earth."
— Bill Bryson, Notes from a Small Island.
"Grey towers of Durham
Yet well I love thy mixed and massive piles
Half church of God, half castle 'gainst the Scot
And long to roam those venerable aisles
With records stored of deeds long since forgot."
— Walter Scott, Harold the Dauntless, a poem of Saxons and Vikings set in County Durham.
