Caption

The Gloucester Music Festival: South Porch, Gloucester Cathedral, 1865. An '...exterior view, showing the South Porch of that venerable edifice, with the crowd which daily assembled in front of it, keeping, however, a portion of the thoroughfare open for the entrance and departure of the company. This porch - a very fine specimen of English Perpendicular architecture - was built about the year 1420, by Abbot Morwent...The porch has an upper chamber, and side windows of peculiar tracery, the mullions of which continue the arrangement of the panelling of the walls; it is supported by buttresses at the angles, and surmounted with pinnacles rising from an open parapet, the whole enriched with niches and canopies; the arms of England, France, and Gloucester Abbey sculptured in the spandrils of the doorway'. From "Illustrated London News", 1865.
