It is amazing (at least to me) how many cathedrals and great churches have histories that date back to the mid 19th Century.
It is tempting to assume that these buildings as we see them today 'have always been like that', however, after the
Dissolution, many fell into disrepair with sections collapsing.
During the 1830s there seems to have been a resurgence in 'religion' and rich benefactors emerged to finance the reconstruction of many fine buildings as we see them today.
I mention just one as an example -
St Albans:-
19th Century.
