Bell'S Cathedrals; The Cathedral Church Of Gloucester [2Nd Ed.]; A Description Of Its Fabric And A Brief History Of The Espicopal See

By H.J.L.J. Massé

Book Overview

A hook: A doorway to England's stone chronicles opens again. A doorway to Gloucester's ancient heart, reimagined for today's curious minds. Bell's Cathedrals offers a lucid, reverent tour through cathedral architectural history, presenting an antiquarian architectural study that reads like a guided stroll through a living, breathing fabric of cathedrals. In this description of its fabric and a brief history of the episcopal see, Massé invites readers to notice the stones as formulate memory-nave, transept, cloister-while tracing how a medieval English church became a centre of faith, power and community. It is both a practical history for the researcher and a quiet, lyrical portrait for the reader who loves heritage. This edition foregrounds literary and historical significance, aligning careful description with a storyteller's eye. It speaks to history students as a reliable research resource, while also appealing to casual readers and classic-literature collectors who value a refined, illustrated church history collection. Gloucester England cathedral comes to life as more than a monument; it becomes a case study in how medieval foundations shaped regional identity, and how nearby cathedral histories interlock in a broader ecclesiastical tapestry. Selling points: out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions; restored for today's and future generations; more than a reprint-a collector's item and a cultural treasure. A precise, approachable key to a rich heritage enthusiast guide.
