00:00Britain's cathedrals are some of the most incredible buildings in the world and every
00:08single one of them is different. For nearly a thousand years people have come to gaze at
00:14their stunning architecture, their beauty and to feel the sense of belonging and hope that they
00:20bring us. I'm the Reverend Pat Allerton and I was first captivated by these buildings when a teenager.
00:30I love their magnificence. I mean, just wow. Their hidden stories. Unbelievable. And the sense of peace you feel when you're in them. It is amazing and a true honour to be here. And now I'm beginning a journey across Britain to visit six of our most amazing cathedrals.
00:55I'll explore the challenges and dedication involved in building them. This attention to extraordinary detail is about working for a higher power and explore how they can lift our spirits and bring us a sense of peace in our difficult and sometimes challenging lives.
01:14From their role in British life from world wars to royal weddings. It's just such a gift to the nation and the people and the culture.
01:26To incredible feats of architecture and hidden gems. Oh wow. I'm going to explore and celebrate how these immense and inspiring buildings have been part of our nation's life for centuries.
01:40So join me on an extraordinary journey as I uncover Britain's most iconic cathedrals. Each one built to the glory of God.
01:47I'm beginning my travels in the south of the UK. Oh wow. Exploring three very different cathedrals. Spectacular Salisbury with Britain's tallest spire. I mean that is amazing. Historical world famous Canterbury. For God's eyes only. Yeah.
02:05And awe-inspiring St Paul's. Isn't this just the most amazing space.
