| Summary | "Bell's Cathedrals: Southwark Cathedral" by George Worley is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work provides a detailed history and description of Southwark Cathedral, formerly known as the Collegiate Church of St. Saviour, covering its architecture, historical significance, and restoration efforts. The author offers insights into the church's origins, transformations through various historical periods, and its importance within the local community. The opening of this historical account details the early beginnings of Southwark Cathedral, tracing its roots back to the time when Southwark was primarily marshland. It highlights the church's founding by a maiden named Mary and its evolution from a house of sisters into a college of priests, eventually establishing itself as a monastery in the 12th century. The narrative references historical figures, including John Stow, and examines the architectural developments the church underwent due to numerous restorations and alterations over centuries, painting a vivid picture of its rich legacy in the context of English ecclesiastical history.
