点评:We came to Gloucester mainly to see this magnificent ancient cathedral
Luckily we got car parking quite close as apparently sometimes it is hard to get.
The cathedral is visible from a long way away but when you get up close it really has the WOW factor.
It is a lovely stone building, beautiful architecture, makes you wonder how the heck they built it back in 1541
History tells us that there was an Abby here first, it dates to 861.
The Cathedral came to be because Henry V111 ancestor King Edward 11 was buried in the Abby.
We saw King Edward 11 amazing Tomb in the cathedral, he is the only Monarch buried there.
There are quite a few other elaborate tombs to view.
You really need to see this lovely ole cathedral, the stonework and decoration is mind blowing, A tribute to all the stonemasons and other tradesmen who built it
翻译:我们来到格洛斯特,主要是为了参观这座宏伟的古老大教堂。
幸运的是,我们在很近的地方找到了停车位——据说有时候很难找到车位呢。
从很远的地方就能看到这座大教堂,而当你走近时,它真的会让人惊叹不已。
这是一座漂亮的石制建筑,建筑风格极美,让人不禁好奇:1541年时人们究竟是如何把它建造出来的呢?
历史记载显示,这里最初是一座修道院,其历史可追溯到861年。这座大教堂得以建成,是因为亨利八世的祖先——爱德华二世国王被安葬在修道院中。
我们在大教堂里看到了爱德华二世那令人惊叹的墓穴,他是唯一一位葬于此处的君主。
此外,这里还有不少工艺精湛的墓穴可供参观。
你真的应该来看看这座美丽而古老的大教堂,其石雕与装饰工艺简直令人叹为观止,完全是对所有参与建造的石匠及其他工匠们的致敬之作。
