The big church with the flag flying (recently attained Minster status) is from the 15th century; but parts of it date back around 900 years, when a smaller Norman church stood there. It's thought that prior to the Norman church there was a Saxon church in the same place. So chances are you'd have been able to see a church more or less where that tower is now, if you were seeing it ten centuries ago.
