My PC is down so please bear with me, I will do what I can in the meantime.

The church, with semi-circular portico and tower, was built in 1826-9 and was designed by Thomas Cundy, then architect to the Grosvenor estate in Westminster.

The original site of Normanton Church (St Matthew's Church as it was once known) would have placed it below the proposed water line of Rutland Water. It was saved from this fate through a project, aided by voluntary subscription, which raised the floor level of the church and protected the lower part of the building with a pier of stones.

The Church now stands proudly by the side of Rutland Water and houses a museum and exhibition on the building of the reservoir which is open to the public from April to October.

York Cathedral (known as York Minster). By Cubic measurement this is Englands largest Cathedral and is second only to Canterbury Cathedral in importance. parts of the Cathedral date back to Roman times but much of the present building dates bact to the 13th Century. York was an early Roman town known as Eboracum. The City walls of which over two miles are left were started in Roman times but strenghtened throughout the Middle Ages. Today it is a very interesting walk around the City.
