With light fading I sat to draw its
towers from the Cloister Garden. It was
so cold that afternoon. A lasting memory was gratitude that there was a Primark
round the corner where we purchased hats, scarfs and gloves.
The Cathedral welcomes you with a fine
Romanesque nave with dogtooth detailing on the arches. The counterpoint is the
intricate Perpendicular Choir. There are more Perpendicular reveries in the
great cloister, arguably the finest we have seen, and a bewitching Lady Chapel.
Gloucester’s huge east window is in
essence a glass reredos. Celebrated in its stained glass are many of the
Knights that fought at Crécy in 1346.
