U PRIOR'S DOORWAY, ELY CATHEDRAL (See p. 70; NORMAN ARCHITECTURE 71 which will not allow itself to be left out of consideration, for cold, and " fierce, and fickle" is the North ! And the same is true of the Gothic. Compare our Gothic facades with the magnificent facades of Amiens (see Frontis- piece) and Chartres in France, or Cologne in Germany, or Milan in Italy. Still, every rule has its exceptions, and plorious ones too : for there is Durham Cathedral, an...d Peter- borough Cathedral (Gothic), and Wells, and Ely — a mass of beautiful sculpture, and Ifiley Church, Oxford, which is far from having a simple exterior. The walls are covered with patterns, and decorated with interlacing arcades, and the plain cushion capitals of the Norman pillar have given place to more elaborate ones : then there is a Wheel Window, and, here and there, a Pointed Arch ! What does it all mean ? Simply this : that the Norman is feeling its way to a new style, and we shall soon have to say good-bye to it.
