SOURCE: John Chessell Buckler, Views of the cathedral churches of England and Wales (London, 1822), pl. [18] NOTES: Most of the cathedral dates from the 13th century when it was rebuilt in Gothic style under the leadership of St Hugh, Bishop from 1186-1200. The west front incoporates the surviving part of the first Romanesque cathedral dating from 1072. The original Norman tower was heightened between c. 1370 and 1400.
