The Gloucester Music Festival: South Porch, Gloucester Cathedral, 1865. Creator: Unknown
The Gloucester Music Festival: South Porch, Gloucester Cathedral, 1865. An '...exterior view, showing the South Porch of that venerable edifice, with the crowd which daily assembled in front of it, keeping, however, a portion of the thoroughfare open for the entrance and departure of the company. This porch - a very fine specimen of English Perpendicular architecture - was built about the year 1420, by Abbot Morwent...The porch has an upper chamber, and side windows of peculiar tracery, the mullions of which continue the arrangement of the panelling of the walls; it is supported by buttresses at the angles, and surmounted with pinnacles rising from an open parapet, the whole enriched with niches and canopies; the arms of England, France, and Gloucester Abbey sculptured in the spandrils of the doorway'. From "Illustrated London News", 1865

EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into history with this photograph of The Gloucester Music Festival: South Porch at Gloucester Cathedral in 1865. This stunning exterior view captures the grandeur of the cathedral's south porch, built around 1420 during the Perpendicular architectural style era. Notice how the crowd gathered before it maintains a portion of the thoroughfare open for entry and exit, while still allowing room to admire this magnificent structure.
The intricate details on display are truly breathtaking - from the upper chamber and side windows with unique tracery to the buttresses at each angle and pinnacles rising above an ornate parapet. The arms of England, France, and Gloucester Abbey sculpted in the doorway's spandrils add a touch of elegance.
This photograph was published in "Illustrated London News" in 1865, providing a glimpse into life during this era when music festivals were all the rage. Take a moment to appreciate the beauty and grandeur on display here - it's as if you've stepped back in time.
