EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the majestic beauty of St. Paul's Cathedral's new choir, added during the 14th century. The new choir, built in the latest modern Gothic style, was a significant expansion of the cathedral, doubling the size of the previous one. This enlargement made St. Paul's some 585 feet long, making it larger than the current cathedral. The new choir was a testament to the grandeur and wealth of the medieval period. Its construction began around 1314, and it took over 100 years to complete. The new choir was designed to accommodate more monks and provide a more spacious and impressive setting for religious services. The choir is a masterpiece of Gothic architecture, with its intricate stonework, soaring arches, and beautiful stained glass windows. The new choir's size and grandeur made St. Paul's one of the largest cathedrals in Europe at the time. This photograph, taken in the 19th century, provides a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship of this historic structure. The new choir remains an essential part of St. Paul's Cathedral, a symbol of the faith and devotion of the people of London and beyond.
