Frommer's Review

Originally just a medieval parish in 1421, Manchester achieved cathedral status in 1847 with the creation of the new diocese. The cathedral's nave, the widest of its kind in Britain, is formed by six bays, as is the choir. The choir stall features unique 16th-century misericord seats -- caricatures of medieval life. The choir screen is a woodcarving from the same era. Carel Weight provides her 20th-century canvas rendition of the beatitudes, and there's also a sculpture by typographer Eric Gill.
