A BEAUTIFUL SHOWCASE OF CHESTER CATHEDRAL THROUGH A MIX OF AERIAL AND GROUND SHOT VIDEO.

They both emphasise the beauty of this fabulous location as well as experiencing the splendour and majesty of its awesome interior.

Chester Cathedral is a Church of England cathedral and the mother church of the Diocese of Chester. It is located in the city of Chester, Cheshire, England. The cathedral, formerly the abbey church of a Benedictine monastery dedicated to Saint Werburgh, is dedicated to Christ and the Blessed Virgin Mary. Since 1541, it has been the seat of the Bishop of Chester.

The cathedral is a Grade I listed building, and part of a heritage site that also includes the former monastic buildings to the north, which are also listed Grade I. The cathedral’s construction dates from between the 10th century and the early 16th century, having been modified a number of times throughout history, a typical characteristic of English cathedrals; however, the site itself may have been used for Christian worship since Roman times. All the major styles of English medieval architecture, from Norman to Perpendicular, are represented in the present building.

The cathedral and former monastic buildings were extensively restored during the 19th century (amidst some controversy), and a free standing bell tower was added in the 20th century. In addition to holding services for Christian worship, the buildings are a major tourist attraction in Chester and the cathedral is used as a venue for concerts and exhibitions.

Oh, the near miss was on the cathedral tower, didn’t spot it from the ground but picked it up on the screen just in time! :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

Sorry about that! :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

Oh well, fully carefreshed up! :laughing:

Actually it wasn’t too bad, I noticed it just at the right time and had to make a small adjustment. I was more worried about the right hand rear spire but just got a quick RC right hand obstacle amber warning on that! :wink: :poop:

This was from an much earlier visit to Chester Cathedral with my the new Mini3. At normal playback speed it looks like a bird, this clip has been slowed down quite a bit and you can see what it was. Despite the areobatics at the end the drone recovered and resumed normal flight.

@Typhoon_Class Not sure what it was, Vince. At the beginning it looked like you passed a finialed pole or something, but it was a few secs later when there was the impact and a white shape that I cant figure out? :thinking:

It was the top of one of the spires, it has a vane on the top, the second one was the vane on top of the spire on the other side of the roof. Although the video suggests an impact it didn’t crash and I flew it back to the home point. The video is very slowed down.
