The exhibition, Peter Marlow: The English Cathedral, showcases the work of the late photographer, which was originally birthed out of a commission to photograph six English cathedrals for a collection of Royal Mail stamps.

Mr Marlow was inspired to continue and photograph all 42 Church of England cathedrals.

Reverend Stephen Edwards, Dean of Worcester, said: "I often walk through the cathedral early in the morning and marvel at its beauty in the natural light.

"For Peter to have observed this and taken the time to travel around all of the English cathedrals and capture these serene and beautiful moments to share with us all is truly remarkable," he said.
