Part of Bell’s celebrated series of English cathedral guides, this volume provides a thorough architectural and historical account of Gloucester Cathedral. From its origins as a Norman abbey through the stunning Perpendicular Gothic work of the fourteenth century — including the great east window and the fan-vaulted cloisters — Massé guides readers through every significant feature of the building.
The series was the standard reference for English cathedral architecture in the early twentieth century, and Gloucester is a particularly rewarding subject, housing the tomb of Edward II and the burial place of Robert, Duke of Normandy.
