Southwell Minster.
"Southwell Minster is eminently "cathedralic,"
possessing all the parts essential to a bishop's church,
to say nothing of the manner in which it so delight
fully blends the several epochs of Gothic. Southwell
Cathedral is one of the most striking and attractive
examples of this treatment we possess. Here all
is gained that variety of architecture can possibly
bestow. The massive Early Norman of its triple
towers, nave, and transepts ; the simple but beautiful
Early English of its choir ; the Early and Late
Decorated of its Chapter-house and choir-screen ;
and the Perpendicular of several of its windows,
are all so perfect in themselves." Extract from "The Cathedrals of England and Wales" (Open Library)
