| Summary | "Bell's Cathedrals: The Cathedral Church of Manchester" by Rev. Thomas Perkins is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work provides a detailed examination of Manchester Cathedral and the adjacent Collegiate buildings known as Chetham's Hospital. The book delves into the history, architecture, and significance of these structures, examining their development through the centuries and their roles in the community. The opening of the volume sets the stage by acknowledging the various contributors to the documentation and research that led to this book. Perkins reflects on the misconception that Manchester is purely a modern city; instead, he illustrates its deep historical roots, dating back to Roman times. The text gives a rich overview of the cathedral's evolution, highlighting its architectural features while hinting at significant events and figures in its storied past. It positions the cathedral not just as a place of worship, but as a vital historical monument that played a crucial role in the development of the city itself.
