What reading level is The Cathedral Builders the Story of a Great Masonic Guild book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is my conviction that in casting off the legends connected with saints, we have also cast off much real history belonging to the early missions. Now, the preceding chapter shows that it is precisely to these first missionaries that we are indebted for the imported archi- tecture of the pre-Norman date in England, and presumably also In Ireland. This architecture has been an enigma and a stumbling-block to arch^ologists for ages ; because while rejecting everything connected with the saints a...s legend, they also reject the only reasonable hypothesis of the genesis of these first stone buildings, which sprang up in a country as yet only accustomed to build in wood or earth.
The Round Towers of Ireland, for instance, have formed a greater puzzle to antiquaries than the churches of Hexham or Lindisfarne — partly because of their antiquity, and partly from their unlikeness to any local buildings of the time. The theories in regard to them are wild beyond all probability. They have been attributed : (i) By Henry O'Brien to the Tuatha De Danaan, a Persian colony which is supposed to have built them for phallic worship.
