The Cathedral Builders of England: Open Library
"The list of the
cathedrals of England which still, after
the chances of 800 years, offer an
impressive record of their first
Builders, is a remarkable one. Durham
and Norwich remain with their early
fabrics almost entire: at Ely and
Winchester are great bodies of the
original erections after the Conquest:
at Chichester and Canterbury are
conspicuous specimens of
eleventh-century building and of what
immediately succeeded: while the many
Norman abbey churches, which now have
become cathedrals, such as St. Albans,
Gloucester, and Peterborough, give us
works of the same date and nearly of the
same scale."
