Great overview and good to have a little of each cathedral all in one place to quickly flick to. I must get myself a more in depth guide though as I'm always frustrated when they tell you about a feature but there isn't space to put a picture in of it :( Although there were still lots of good photos!

A great guide to the UK's cathedrals with basic history dates, a colour photo or two, famous people and floor plans included.
