Britain’s Great Cathedrals. A six part documentary series that looks at the architecture and tells the stories and characters behind six of Britain’s Cathedrals.
Sir Tony Robinson visits Britain’s great cathedrals, considered some of the most magnificent in the world, to investigate their turbulent history and the treasures that they house.
Dominating the landscape for centuries, ancient cathedrals and abbeys reflect Britain’s history through their architectural grandeur-stories of its kings and queens and the religious and social changes brought about by the English Reformation, as well as many other tales of intrigue, love, faith and conviction.
For centuries the great religious buildings of Great Britain have inspired and fascinated pilgrims and visitors from around the world. Britain is well-known for its churches and cathedrals; buildings of great architecture and religious grandeur that form many of our recognisable skylines. But these grand structures are also full of facts, histories and stories that you may not have been aware of.
Actor and history enthusiast Tony Robinson takes us on a journey around the United Kingdom, showing us his highlights while providing fascinating details and stories along the way. Britain’s Great Cathedrals take the viewer on a journey to look at the history and architecture, and learn about the characters who have made the cathedrals what they are today.
The series features interviews with historians and footage captured by drones filming the legendary facades and soaring interior spaces of York Minster, Canterbury, Salisbury, Durham, Liverpool and Winchester Cathedrals.

Part 1: York Minster
In Episode One, Tony Robinson is at York Minster. York’s cathedral church is one of the finest medieval buildings in Europe. The Minster is also known as St Peter’s, its full name being the ‘Cathedral and Metropolitical Church of St Peter in York’. It has sat at the heart of our nation for more than 800 years, and has been a backdrop to some of the most dramatic events in British history. A stone Saxon church survived Viking invasion in 866 but was ransacked by William the Conqueror’s forces in 1069. The present Gothic-style church was designed to be the greatest cathedral in the kingdom. It was built over 250 years, between 1220 and 1472. Cathedral has survived fires, war and subsidence, it houses more than half of all the world’s medieval glass and its bishops have been influential on the world stage.
