The earliest foundations of the building have been shown to be of Saxon origin in the 8th century. The Normans then developed the Abbey further and as time passed and trends changed a lot of additions were made. It changed from an Abbey to a Cathedral in 1877 and is the second longest Cathedral in the United Kingdom.
