Gloucester Cathedral

The building combines a Norman nave with successive Gothic additions, a high central tower with pinnacles, extensive cloisters and medieval fittings including the canopied shrine of Edward II.

As it stood in 1350

What Gloucester Cathedral looked like in its prime.

A long, low basilica of light-coloured ashlar stone with a high, square central tower topped by four slender pinnacles; a continuous clerestory and tall pointed arched windows run along the nave and choir. The west entrance is a deep arched porch faced with a band of carved niches and statues. Buttresses and flying buttress-like supports break the roofline; cloisters and monastic ranges adjoin the church. Surfaces show carved Perpendicular tracery and large medieval stained-glass openings.
