The Gloucester Music Festival: the nave of the Cathedral looking west, 1865. ...sacred music was performed each day in the cathedral...The nave, of winch our Artist has furnished a View, with the audience or congregation which thronged its benches on the days of the musical festival, is materially different from those of most other Norman cathedrals in England; the lofty and massive piers being carried so high as to leave the triforium a comparatively small space, instead of its being, as at Norwich, Ely, and Peterborough, nearly equal in dimensions to the nave-arcade below. The large window at the west end was erected, at the expense of the Rev. Canon T. M. Brown, as a memorial of the late Bishop Monk. The design represents various incidents of Old and New Testament history; it is the work of Mr. Wailes. From "Illustrated London News", 1865.
