As it stood in 1504

What Worcester Cathedral looked like in its prime.

A long cruciform Gothic cathedral of warm-weathered sandstone and limestone, dominated by a tall, square perpendicular central tower with corner pinnacles and a crenellated parapet. A continuous, pitched nave roof of dark slate stretches between transepts; large traceried windows and buttressed aisles punctuate the long side elevations. The cathedral sits above a tree-lined riverbank with red-brick houses clustered at its base. Stonework shows bands of green sandstone and honey-coloured Cotswold limestone; carved pinnacles and flying buttresses define the skyline.
