Medieval Cathedral examines the incredible architectural achievements and hidden secrets held within the walls of these grand religious buildings.
Discover a world of towering spires, ornate architecture and stories sealed in colourful glass.

Meet the highly-skilled craftsmen involved in the cathedral's construction at each stage, from cutting the stone to installing the iconic stained glass windows. Uncover the history behind ghoulish gargoyles, pilgrim routes and miracle plays, and how they transformed these noble cathedrals into the buildings we know today.
With superb cutaway illustrations and pinpoint enlargements to accompany the text, this book is the perfect gift for history enthusiasts eager to learn more about the Medieval period, especially the development of architecture and religion during that time. Informative captions, maps, a complete glossary and an index make this title an ideal educational text for children studying the middle ages in history.
