About This Book

This book presents a compact history and architectural description of an English cathedral, tracing its origins, construction phases, and restorations; it surveys exterior features such as façade, towers, porches, and precinct buildings, and interior elements including nave, choir, chapels, cloisters, chapter-house, stained glass, monuments, and notable carvings. Organized into chapters with plans, illustrations, and a chronological list of bishops, the work synthesizes antiquarian sources and archaeological observation to guide visitors and students through the building's fabric, decorative programmes, and institutional associations.
