What reading level is Ely Cathedral book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This is modern, and is imitated from a well-known example at the church of St. Maclou at Rouen. We turn into the Presbytery, passing through the canopied monument of Bishop Red- mayne, with its little altar at the good bishop's feet, and place ourselves at the foot 35 c Ely Cathedral of the steps, looking west. The view of the whole church from this point is hardly less impressive than that which is gained from the western threshold. Let us try to ex- plain clearly the history of the Cathedral ...as written in the arches, piers, windows, and vaults which are around and above us. The central tower, we have seen, fell in 1321, and its fall ruined the Norman choir, which had four bays, and was termi- nated by an eastern apse. But a century previous to this downfall, Bishop Hugh of Northwold (1229-1254) had removed the apse, and had extended or lengthened the Norman choir by six bays of most admirable design in the style of his period, the Early English or First Pointed, which had then superseded the Norman.
