A wealthy man named Richard Poore gave the land on which the new cathedral was built. Construction was paid for by donations, principally from the canons and vicars of southeast England, who were asked to contribute a fixed annual sum until the building was completed.
There are many prominent burials within the cathedral including ex-Prime Minister Sir Edward Heath (1916 – 2005). The oldest tomb (1099) in the cathedral belongs to St Osmund, who had been bishop of the previous cathedral, which stood at Old Sarum.
