Manchester, England
Manchester Cathedral

It may be medieval, but it is still very much in style.

The Manchester Cathedral is the mother church of the Anglican Diocese of Manchester, and is located in Manchester’s city centre. In addition, it serves as the seat of the Bishop of Manchester, and is also in use as the city’s parish church. This cathedral is famous for its late medieval wooden furnishings, with the main body done in the Perpendicular Gothic architectural style. The quire and ceiling of this church is also worth a look, as is its stained glass. Sadly, all the Victorian stained glass was destroyed during the 1940 Manchester Blitz, so the stained glass that adorns the cathedral today is much more modern, but equally as stunning. This religious site sometimes also plays host to classical music concerts, as well as wine fairs. Guided tours are also available for visitors to join and admire the cathedral’s beauty and charm. Like a fine wine, the Manchester Cathedral has only gotten better with age.
