Ripon Cathedral.

"To the aisleless nave of this twelfth - century church a pair of western towers, and a facade flush with them, were added between 1215 and 1255 by Archbishop Walter de Grey, to whom, it will be remembered, we owe that ne plus ultra of Early English refinement, the south transept of York. In fact, it is very interesting to observe what care the Archbishops of York always had for this church at Ripon, works of re-edification progressing in both great churches almost simultaneously i.e., the Norman under Thomas de Bayeux, the Transitional under Roger, and the Early English under Walter de Grey."
