Chester Cathedral LEGO Model - Cathedral Church Of Christ & The Blessed Virgin Mary, Chester, Cheshire, England, UK - LEGO Sculptures and Models on Waymarking.com

The cathedral is a magnificent building located in the center of Chester.
"The original church was built in the Romanesque or Norman style, parts of which can still be seen today. This church was subsequently rebuilt from around 1250 onward in the Gothic style, a process which took about 275 years an resulted in the incredible structure seen today." (visit link)
There is no charge to go into the main area of the building but donations are gratefully received (an amount suggested is £4)

The Lego model is located inside the cathedral. A total of over 350,000 individual Lego pieces are being used to create an accurate scale model of the cathedral. The project started in 2015 is predicted to take four years to complete, with the finished model reaching almost four metres in length and two metres in height. A number of famous people have laid foundation bricks, including London Mayor, Boris Johnson, who can be seen laying a brick at the following link. (visit link)
"In one of the most ambitious build projects of the last few years, Chester Cathedral is being recreated, brick by brick, using LEGO pieces.
The model base measures 4m x 2m and it’s only when you are standing next to it that you realise the scale of this project. We’ve built some ‘special features’ too, including the Grand Organ, the Quire Stalls and the War Memorial – all created with LEGO.
Every £1 donation, which gives you one brick to add to the cathedral, goes towards the Chester Cathedral Education Trust Fund, enabling us to continue our fantastic work with schools across Cheshire and beyond."
