A stunning set of doors on the main entrance to Chester Cathedral on its west side. These are only open to the public for special ceremonies and for tours you must enter through the side entrance to the north of theses coordinates.
The doors appear to be made of English Oak, and the surround is surrounded in intricate stone work.
The door of the west front is not used as the normal entrance to the cathedral, which is through the southwest porch. This porch was probably designed by Seth Derwall, and it formed part of the same late 15th-century building programme as the south transept, central and southwest towers, and cloister. - with thanks to:- (
