Gloucester Cathedral - the Porch, 1850. Exterior of medieval cathedral in Gloucester, Gloucestershire. 'The south porch...is one of the most elegant examples of its kind remaining. It was built in 1422, and in all its features is perfectly beautiful, though time has, on the exterior, shorn the details of some of their most striking and elaborate portions; and in the interior, rude repairs and wilful mischief have played their parts on the sculptured work'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
