What reading level is Durham book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Sometimes the pillars were ornamented with patterns cut in them. All carved work in the early Norman period was done with an axe, for the masons of those days were not used to working stone with a chisel, though they soon attained to it. Illustrations in plenty of Norman woilv^^ Mrl;^r and;'l^t^' (some of the late work being curiously' carved), caii be seen in Durham Cathedral, so all' bpy;t\ Wl . Gtrlf^jshovW look for it, and make drawings of what they see. If they think that they cannot draw,... they should try, for drawing is easier than some people think. The choir and the transepts were completed before the end of the eleventh century, and by 11J^9 the body of the church was so far advanced that it was, in that year, dedicated to God's use, with all proper ceremonial, by Bishop Ralph Flambard.
Many years passed away before the cathedral, and the monastery on its south side, were completed. Bit by bit, as piety prompted and means enabled them, our fore- fathers put together the great pile, so that while the whole should stand, when completed, as a monument and testimony to the faith of all the people, the different parts might speak of the self-sacrifice and good intentions of those who had given the means for building them.
