Our mission is to capture it’s snapshot likeness in a poem. No two will be the same. Oh, and maybe we’ll do a bit of sctibbling, too. Warmth and supportiveness guaranteed.

Cathedral Quarter Gloucester is at Gloucester Cathedral.

2 weeks ago

The west end of Gloucester Cathedral was rebuilt c. 1420 in the fashionable ‘Perpendicular’ style of Gothic architecture. The most recognisable feature of this particular mode of Gothic is the intersecting vertical and horizontal lines, creating a grid of strong straight lines across almost every surface. The style emerged in England in the fourteenth century, with the east end of Gloucester Cathedral being one of the earliest examples. The actual glass dates to 1859 and was installed as a memorial to Bishop J. H. Monk.#gloucestercathedral #gloucester #gothicarchitecture #perpendiculargothic #stainedglass This photo is by Diliff/Wikimedia Commons ... See MoreSee Less
