Manchester Cathedral
Manchester Cathedral, formally the Cathedral and Collegiate Church of St Mary, St Denys and St George, is the medieval mother church of the Anglican Diocese of Manchester. Largely rebuilt in the Perpendicular Gothic style in the 15th and early 16th centuries, it became a cathedral in 1847 and today stands as a Grade I listed building in Manchester city centre.

What Manchester Cathedral looked like in its prime.
A long Perpendicular Gothic hall church of buff-grey ashlar with a tall, battlemented west tower pierced by large clock faces, pinnacles and crocketed turrets. The nave is wide with double aisles, high clerestory windows and a continuous row of shallow buttresses and pinnacles along the roofline. East end and side chantry chapels form a dense fringe; interior roofs are heavy timber, and the stone gives a uniform pale buff-grey appearance against the surrounding city.
