See founded f 09, and with Bath lO'iO. 'i'hnugh one of the smallest cathedrals, it is a very extraordinary
example. Its western fa^ide is decorated with six rows of scidpture in a very perfect state, and somewhat
similar to Exeter and Lincoln. The suhjecis are angels, siU jects from tlie Old and New Tt-stamonts, kings,
bi-hops, and warriors, amounting to over 300: tliey have been explained by C. R. Cockerell, in his
Iconograp/it/. 'I'lie original plan se^ms to have been can ied out to its completion. The chapel or room
under tlie chapter house and the curious staircase, were completed about 1V86, by Bishop Burr.ell
;
and
the chapter house, octagon, 52 ft 6 in wide and 42 ft. high, witli a central pillar, by Bishop William de la
March, l'JS3-1302; see figs. 1275-7. The east walk of the cloisters, 163 ft, and library, date 1407-24; the west
166 ft. and part of the south, dite 1443-64, and completed for 130 ft. more, soon after bv Thomas Henry,
Treasurer. Tlie support ol the central tower is assisted by an invertpd
arch as at Salisbury. The internid
length is 385 ft. and the breadth 135 ft. The west front is 147^ ft. long. Kestorations, 1842, by C. K.

See founded 648 The west front was originally the work of Bishop Edingdon. The nave, which w.is

"
(Prof. Willisl by Wykeham is, with Ely and Canterbury, probably the longest in the
world, S. Peter's at Rome excepted. The Cloisters are 180 ft. by 174 It. The exterior of the choir is of the
finest Gothic of the fitteenlh century. The choir as at Gloucester, is under the tower. The chantries "f
Waynflete and Beaufort are fine examples. The crypt is an interesting example, and more so now that
the chalk, 4 ft. deep, filled in about 400 years since, has been removed, 188u-7. There is no chapter house.
The external length is 557 ft. 9 in. ; tlie internal I ngth is .525 ft
, the breadth 208 ft. The stone screen and
the episcopal throne are by Garbett. The west front restored 1860.
