The building of King's Lynn's church of St Margaret began around 1101 and from those early days evidence may be seen in the base of the west towers. However, like most large churches its construction took a few hundred years. The oldest tower is the far one (south west) built in the 1100s and 1200s, but with a new bell stage added in the 1300s. The other tower mainly dates from 1453 and the following years. Since they were each built in the style(s) of the times they differ considerably. The church had a priory attached in the early days. In 2011 it was re-designated King's Lynn Minster by the Bishop of Norwich.
