About This Book

A compact guide combines architectural analysis, documentary history, and local legend to trace the cathedral's origins, successive building phases, and restorations. It describes exterior and interior features — towers, porches, cloisters, nave, choir, chapels and crypt — and catalogues sculptural detail, stained glass, mouldings, tombs and reliquaries. Plans, sections, drawings and photographs accompany discussions of construction techniques and later alterations. A final section outlines the development and administration of the episcopal see. The presentation balances accessible language for visitors with enough technical observation to serve students of medieval architecture and ecclesiastical history.
