NOTES: The Gothic cathedral, which replaced the Norman one, was planned by Bishop Nonant. Work began in 1195 and was completed by the building of the Lady Chapel in the 1330s. The transepts were built between 1220 and 1240 and the nave was begun in 1260. The choir screen was designed by Scott and made by Francis Skidmore, 1859-1863.
