Description:
|
Interior view of the Cathedral choir or quire, Manchester, looking towards the High Altar and east window. Screens enclose the quire and presbytery on both sides. The lower parts of the screens, and the altar rails, are in wrought ironwork of the 18th century, of very good detail, while the upper parts are of late Gothic woodwork. The Victorian stained glass in the cathedral east window was destroyed by Luftwaffe bombing during the Manchester Blitz of 1940.
