Manchester+Cathedral

Situated on Victoria Street, this Manchester medieval church gives an exquisite examle of English Gothic architecture. It was first built in 1421 and has in the period 1421–1882 often been modified and extended. During World War II, the cathedral was massively damaged and the victorian stained glass in the cathedral was destroyed. Much of it is now reconstructed. It was bombed again in 1996, by the IRA, but not as badly.
