At the west front of the cathedral 14, the stone in the wall to the left indicates the extent of the Norman westwork, demolished around 1300.
Turn past the west front to the site of the Old Minster dating from the 7th century, now marked out in brick.
The New Minster was built on the instructions of Alfred the Great and completed by his son Edward the Elder. It was located alongside the Old Minster until 1110 when the church was moved to the northern suburb of Hyde.
