  • Crossing Tower England

    The main highlight of Gloucester Cathedral's exterior is the impressive crossing tower, which rises 225 feet (69m) high and can be seen from miles around. It was built around 1450 by Robert Tully, one of the monks of Gloucester Abbey.

  • West Facade England

    Unusually for an English cathedral, the west front of Gloucester Cathedral is of relatively little interest. It dates from the aborted renovations of Abbot Morwent in the 1420s.

  • Choir England

    The choir of Gloucester Cathedral dates from the great rebuilding project of 1337-50. The choir stalls against the wall, which include fine canopies and 46 medieval misericords, are original and in excellent condition. .

  • Lady Chapel England

    The far east end of Gloucester Cathedral is occupied by the Lady Chapel (1468-82), which reflects the final flowering of Perpendicular Gothic at the end of the 15th century.
