Mansfield to Southwell Railway, Farnsfield, Nottinghamshire, 1871

Southwell
England

Southwell Minster. 12 Miles South-East of Mansfield. The present church dates back to about 1108 and, unusually, the Minster has retained all three of its Norman Towers - the pyramidal roofs of two of them were rebuilt to the original design, after a fire in 1711. Much early Norman work remains and a fine sculptured screen, of about 1340, leads to the choir. The chapter house has fine foliage carvings, amongst which are little people and animals.
