The landmark of many cities is the cathedral. Some had their beginnings as monastic buildings, have stood for nearly a thousand years, and remain essential icons, or even emblems, of a city’s character.

Yet not all cathedrals look alike, and indeed these buildings were often the pioneers of new architecture as it developed over the centuries. Here, Cathedral Architecture takes the reader on a journey through time, enjoying the architectural experience of the styles of the Normans, Early English, Decorated Gothic, Perpendicular Gothic, and English Renaissance through to modern day.

A beautifully illustrated guide featuring many of Britain’s best-loved cathedrals.

What Is A Cathedral?, A General Plan, Norman (Circa 1066 - 1190), Early English (Circa 1190 - 1300), Decorated Gothic (Circa 1250 - 1380), Perpendicular Gothic (Circa 1350 - 1550), English Renaissance (The 17th Century), Modern (The 20th Century), Glossary
