I've been to Gloucester Cathedral many times.
This post is about the time I participated in Tower Tour.
The angle is the best, I think.
The appearance of the cathedral is covered with rocks but on the other hand,
the inside has a lot of wooden parts.
The bell is the biggest in the UK, a tour guide explained for us.
I was at next to the bell when the bell rang.
I was surprised at ringing without any movements.
I expected that the huge bell would be swung.
I couldn't understand how the bell rang.
The bell is controlled with an old mechanical clock
Many bells for music are on the roof and they are moved by ropes.
The machine is something like a music box.
Many bells may ring with the machine.
I'd already got tired when I arrived in the tower top.
Some parts of cathedral are covered with black layer.
A guide mentioned that the layer is made from coals.
It'd been shaped during the era of industrial revolution.
The stair of the cathedral is narrow.
It may be impossible to go across with others.
