What reading level is The Cathedrals of England And Wales Being a Fourth Edition of English Cathedral book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Long, that of Wells is only 161 ft.
Another important factor in the vault design was the lighting system. Much importance was evidently attached to good lighting at Wells. All the lancet windows are exceptionally broad, owning no kinship whatever to the slender, graceful lancets ot Lincoln and Salisbury: but following the proportions ol the- round-headed windows in St. ( 'ross choir and Worcester nave. Hut it would have been useless to put large lancets in the clerestory if they were to be obst...ructed bv the vault : therefore, to unmask 37O WELLS CATHEDRAL the clerestory windows, the side cells of the vault were tilted upward, as at Pershore, instead of having level ridges.
Then the serious question of abutment had to be con- sidered. Here the builders shewed themselves thoroughly sceptical of new-fangled Gothic methods. Flying buttresses in the open air, like those going up simultaneously at Chichester, they would none of. They actually had little faith even in vertical buttresses ; they put them up indeed ; but both in the aisles and the clerestory, as at the east end of Pershore, they have little more projection than Norman pilaster strips.
