Gloucester 0269a
Gloucester Cathedral - from the SW. The nave and south aisle is to the left, the south transept to the right. The diagonal stone girders serve to support the magnificent 15th century central tower which rises to 225 feet (69 metres) and is built on Norman foundations. The transept corner towers giving access to the roof levels retain much of their Norman work, but the larger windows in the transept were inserted later. Some of the Norman chevrons and masonry have been reused.
The former car parking area in the foreground has recently been landscaped and forms an attractive cathedral close.
