Publisher description
Excerpt from The Study-Book of Medieval Architecture and Art, Being a Series of Working Drawings of the Principal Monuments of the Middle Ages, Vol. 4: Whereof the Plans, Sections, and Details Are Drawn to Uniform Scales The choir of the Church being found too small for the number of the religious assembled there during the offices, the monks commenced, in the year 1349, the erection of the magnificent choir, which still stands. It was completed in three years, and shortly after the reconstruction of the nave was taken in hand; which was not completed till the middle of the fifteenth century The great fire in 1472, which we have mentioned above, destroyed the triple spires and the woodwork of the tower, so that the great bell melted the roof of the nave took fire and burnt itself out, but the choir was fortunately saved. The bell was renewed in 1497, and the Church and towers repaired. In the riots against the clergy in 1521, and with the peasants in 1525, the Cathedral was much injured, the monuments were disfigured, and the plate stolen.
