Manchester Cathedral.

"The Early English church remained until the latter part of the fifteenth century, when it was completely removed and replaced by a graceful structure of which the pier arches and parts of the aisles still furnish examples. The Early English choir, which it is believed had no aisles, was removed between 1340 and 1345, when, together with the Lady Chapel, it was rebuilt in the Flowing Decorated style prevalent at that period, which was one of great architectural activity in this part of England. Remains of the fourteenth-century choir exist in the eastern responds of the arcade, in the arch between the procession path and the Lady Chapel, and in the north and south-east walls of the latter to the height of a foot and a half above the floor. Work of the same period was also found in the north, south and west walls of the tower during its rebuilding in 1864-68 to the height of 15 feet."
