Richard John King’s handbooks to the three West Country cathedrals that share the ancient Three Choirs music festival are combined here. For each he traces the building’s architectural history from the Norman work onward, walks through nave, choir and chapels, and adds a history of the diocese with notices of its bishops, from Benedictine abbots to Thomas Becket’s opponent Gilbert Foliot.
