Bell's Cathedrals: The Cathedral Church of Manchester A Short History and Description of the Church and of the Collegiate Buildings now known as Chetham's Hospital

"Bell's Cathedrals: The Cathedral Church of Manchester" by Rev. Thomas Perkins is like stepping back in time to explore a really old and important building. It's not just about a church; it's about how this amazing cathedral and the buildings next to it, called Chetham's Hospital, grew and changed over hundreds of years. The writer helps us understand that even though Manchester seems like a new, modern city, it actually has a long history going all the way back to Roman times. The book looks closely at the cathedral's special design and its importance as more than just a place for religious services; it was a key part of Manchester's story and growth.
