Framed Print of Manchester Cathedral, 1942 a42_01741

Manchester Cathedral. The north west corner of the Ely Chapel at St Marys Cathedral Church, or Manchester Cathedral, showing bomb damage. The cathedral was originally a collegiate parish church, dating between c1422 and 1520, and became a cathedral in 1847. It may contain some earlier material, and was altered in 1814-1815, 1862-1868, 1885-1886 and in 1898. It received bomb damage during 1940 and was rebuilt and restored by Sir Hubert Worthington. The cathedral has a west tower with porch, a six bay aisled nave with north and south porches, an aisled choir with chapels flanking the north and south sides, a presbytery, retrochoir and a Lady Chapel at the east end. Manchester cathedral was the second-most damaged cathedral in Britain during World War II. Discover Historic England images to buy as prints, wall art or for licensing.
