Oh, how beautiful is that light show! I have to tell you that Durham is my favorite cathedral in all of England. It has such a special atmosphere - partly, I think, because it is home to St. Cuthbert & the venerable Bede. I'll never forget the kind volunteer who, upon noticing that I was American, grabbed me almost as soon as I walked through the door and took me to see the Washington family shield in the cloisters, explaining that that was where the stars and stripes on the American flag came from. I just love Durham.

I am shocked to hear that Chester-le-Street is older than Durham, though! You would never guess it.
