About this book
Norman arches, cathedral towers and the streets around them provide the focus of George Gilbert's illustrated survey of England. The chapters range from Canterbury and Durham to York, Winchester and Westminster, with pictures by W. W. Collins. Gilbert begins by explaining architectural terms and the development of styles, so that features such as a nave, triforium or clerestory can be recognised in the buildings he describes.
At Hereford, the account follows successive building campaigns, damage and restoration, then turns to shrines, memorials and the Mappa Mundi. Dates and bishops matter because they help distinguish one part of the cathedral from another.
