Cathedrals
Medieval cathedrals were the sure sign of the wealth of the church of Medieval England. They paid for the cathedrals with the money people had to pay to the Roman Catholic Church. Many highly skilled people were needed to make these buildings. The quarryman, sculptor, mason, blacksmith, glassmaker, stonecutter, mortar maker, carpenter, and roofer were some of the skilled people needed to build these cathedrals.
The chapter was the body that governed how much money could be spent on the cathedral. There were many tools used to build cathedrals. Some were pickaxes, hammers, chisels, planes, braces and bits, sledge hammers, augers, mathematical dividers, and squares and templates.
