Gloucester Cathedral: Choir


The choir at Gloucester Cathedral is one of the earliest examples of Perpendicular style. Instead of building from scratch the tracery was built over the existing Norman building. The great East window (Crécy window) was installed in ~1350. At 22m high and 12 m wide was the largest medieval glass window in the world.

Der Chor der Kathedrale von Gloucester ist eines der frühesten Beispiele des spätgotischen Perpendicular-Stils. Man hat Mitte des 14.Jh einfach die bestehende normannische Kathedrale umgebaut, indem man Fenster vergrößert und Maßwerk vor die Wände gesetzt hat. Das Ostfenster (Crécy-Fenster) war damals mit einer Höhe von 22m und einer Breite von 12m das größte Glasfenster der Welt.

Das Hauptbild ist vom Chorumgang hinter der (viktorianischen) Altarrückwand aufgenommen und zeigt im oberen Teil das Crécy-Fenster.

If you like cathedrals, Ken Follett wrote, Pillars of The Earth and I enjoyed it very much. It is a fictional story but does give insight into the building of those structures and the challenges they encountered.
Gudrun club has replied to Clickity ClickI have read Pillars of the Earth and its sequel, a well researched and entertaining read. Follett can afford to employ researchers;-)
Clickity Click has replied to Gudrun clubIf I lived closer to England I would like to do what you are doing ... visiting the Cathedrals as well as some the of churches in the countryside.
