In concluding this record of the venerable Cathedral of Chester, we think it will have appeared, that while it has a history of deep interest and significance, it has also many architectural beauties, well deserving of a minute and careful study.
“Amid the imposing growth of material wealth and pride, it is not unseasonable to remember that temple architecture is the oldest in the world; and to ask, after so impressive a vindication of its longevity, whether having been the earliest, it may not prove the latest term of human civilization. I am persuaded that so it will be; for there is in the soul of man ‘a temple not made with hands,’ which demands and shapes forth the visible structure as its shell of life; which is ever fresh amid the change and wreck of ages, and can build again the ruins of the past; indeed, the hidden cloister of whose worship will remain still open, and thrill with higher strains, when time and its structures shall be no more.”
