Scope and Content
Storer, James. History and antiquities of the cathedral churches of Great Britain. Vol. II. London: Rivingtons; Murray; Hatchard; Clarke; Taylor; and Sherwood, Neely, and Jones. 1816. p. l.The chief windows on the south side correspond with those opposite ; and the whole of this front displays the same general features with that already noticed, except that the architectural line is here broken by the chapter house, which building ranges with the ground plan of the south tower upon the west, but extends beyond it in an eastern direction. The large east window of this fabric is of an elegant form, and is highly ornamental to the general view, if beheld from an advantageous point. When the cathedral is surveyed from the east, the chapel of St. Mary affords a superb object ; and the perspective is ennobled by the massive towers which overhang the transepts.[Text may be taken from a different source or edition than that listed as the source by Somers Cocks.]
