About This Book

A concise architectural guide examines the Norman fabric and later alterations of an East Anglian cathedral, tracing its foundation, development, and episcopal associations. It offers a room-by-room and exterior-by-exterior description — west front, towers and spire, gates, cloisters, nave, choir, presbytery, chapels, screens, vaulting, and monuments — accompanied by plans and illustrations. One chapter surveys the succession and role of the local bishops and another sketches the cathedral’s urban context. Practical historical notes, architectural detail, and illustrative material are presented to assist both visitors and students of medieval church-building.
