Gothic

2007.07.31

Lincoln Cathedral

Durham Cathedral

Canterbury Cathedral

Ely Cathedral

I adore the gothic architectural style of medieval church buildings of northern Europe, epitomised by the great cathedrals. I think there is true majesty in the sublime stone-masonry and let's face it - is there any architectural construct as fantastic as the flying buttress?

In England we are lucky enough to have many outstanding examples and I have shown a few of my personal favourites here.

I feel I should be dressed in black for the occasion.... :))

Your words are so right, we are lucky in England to have many wonderful buildings. I really like this style too, there is something so intricate in the details on such buildings, that you don't really get in other styles of architecture.

That was one of my favorite parts about living in Europe. I love touring all the wonderful cathedrals. I never made it over to Britain, and you are making me regret it.
