Caption

The Gloucester Music Festival: the Clerestory, Gloucester Cathedral, 1865. View of '...the clerestory, in which a number of ladies and gentlemen found tolerable accommodation during the musical performances...This part of the edifice was constructed in the first half of the thirteenth century, the monks themselves, as we leam from an ancient chronicle, having laboured at it with their own hands. What these pious builders would have thought of the compositions of Mendelssohn and Spohr, or the execution of Mdme. Titiens and Miss Louisa Pyne, it were too curious to inquire'. From "Illustrated London News", 1865.
