To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The character and early date of the design make it still more remarkable. It was completed " forty-six years before the cathedral of Amiens, and thirty-six years before the cathedral of Orvieto was begun ; and it seems to be the first specimen of such magnificent and varied sculpture, united in a series of sacred history, that is to be found in Western Europe." l The workmanship is probably English, and of a local school, "fraught at once with the gravest and most impor- tant interests of relig...ion, history, and archaeology," says a dis- tinguished architect. 2 The figures, he adds, " were designed to illustrate, in the most ample and striking manner, the great and fundamental doctrines of the Christian Faith, its happy advent to this country, and its subsequent protection under the several dynasties to the date of their execution in 1214." There are here, says Britton, one hundred and fifty-three statues of life size, or larger, and double that number of smaller figures.
They are arranged in half a dozen, or more, tiers across the front (that is 235 feet wide 3 ).
