Ken Follet's Pillars of the Earth [1] deals with this subject, the building of a cathedral in the fictitious city of "Kingsbridge" in the middle ages. It is, of course, heavily romanticised and weaves the tale of the construction of the cathedral through with a number of family tales but it nevertheless is an interesting read.

- phist_mcgee 5y agoIt's a fantastic read. And a great introduction to the world of cathedrals along with medieval society and its various factions. The tv show is good too!
- Andrew_nenakhov 5y agoCan't confirm. The book is good, but the show is beyond pathetic. Better not touch it.
