Discovering Cathedrals

Discovering Cathedrals is a very complete overview of British cathedrals all wrapped up in a small package. This paperback book is printed on heavy, slick paper and contains the floor plans plus photographs of all cathedrals in England and Wales plus a few in Scotland. The author has written an interesting history of each building. It is a book to treasure even if you never travel the the UK to see them yourself.
