The cathedral church was originally part of a Benedictine Priory and refounded as a cathedral in 1541. The main body was built between 1093 and 1130, with alterations and additions made in the 13th and 15th centuries.
The western bays of the north and south nave aisles are underneath the west towers. The north bay has a projecting staircase in the north-west corner, and a door with round-headed window above leading to the galilee on the west side. The ceiling has a cross-ribbed vault, with zig-zags carved into the arches.
