The Three Choirs: A Handbook to the Cathedrals of Gloucester, Hereford, and Worcester A Complete Description of the Buildings, a History of Each Diocese and Biographical Notices of the Bishops. The best general views of the cathedral will be obtained from the north-west and from the south-east; but there are many excellent points of view from the lawn by which the building is now happily surrounded. The outlines—owing greatly to the Lady-chapel with its projecting chantries, to the eastern chapels of the transepts and choir-aisles, and to the open-work of parapets and pinnacles—are unusually varied and picturesque.
