What reading level is Old Crosses And Lychgates book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Anyhow, at some time in the seven- teenth, or in the early part of the eighteenth century, the hexagonal shelter was taken down from around the central pier (which still remains intact), and was then rebuilt in its present form, portions only of the old Gothic parapet, and the pinnacles, being re-used. This rebuilding has escaped record, but that it did take place the internal evidence of the structure itself makes sufficiently obvious. The absence, already mentioned, of buttresses ; the clumsy..., square blocks which do duty for the bases of the piers ; the classic imposts of the latter, and the depressed arches (unconstructional, because they are not turned with voussoirs, but formed each of one huge pair of stones, cambered to simulate an arch in outline), and the exaggeratedly prominent keystones, could never have been perpetrated at the early date of 1500, but at some subsequent rebuilding, of which the sum of them affords cumulative and convincing proof Charles Pooley {Old Stone Crosses of Somerset, 1877) states that the cross was rebuilt from the ground in 1841 : but he was clearly mistaken.
