About This Book

Een reizigersverslag van een stad in het noordwesten van Engeland verweeft historische schetsen met architectuur- en reisherinneringen. De auteur beschrijft Romeinse, Saksische en Normandische sporen, belangrijke middeleeuwse gebeurtenissen en vooral de kathedraal: bouwgeschiedenis, overgang van romaans naar verschillende gotische stijlen, westfront, transepten, midden‑toren, crypte en glas-in-lood. Er is aandacht voor restauraties, constructiedetails en esthetische overwegingen over versiering. Naast monumentale beschrijvingen geeft de tekst praktische aanwijzingen voor bezoekers, routes langs stadsmuren en rivieroever en korte aantekeningen over lokale musea en andere bezienswaardigheden.
