Cathedrals of Britain - 831

For centuries, cathedrals in Britain have inspired and captivated those that have stood before them.

Some are grand medieval structures, while others appear simple and unpretentious - yet all were designed to reflect something of the glory of God.

In this lavishly illustrated guide David Pepin explores the developments in architectural style through the ages and examines the unique characteristics that each cathedral possesses, from the powerful Norman Romanesque towers of Durham, to the daring Gothic finery at Gloucester.

Covering not just Anglican but Roman Catholic and Scottish cathedrals too, Pepin addresses the ongoing story of daily worship, conservation, pilgrimage and the tourism industry within cathedrals today.
