Language: English . Brand New Book ***** Print on Demand *****. Excerpt from Stone, Vol. 17: An Illustrated Magazine; June, 1898, to November, 1898 The ancient buildings of Bristol are of special interest to architects and builders in stone. The Cathedral was founded in 1142, and the old Abbey Gateway is a fine specimen of Norman handiwork. The four receding orders are elaborately enriched with zigzag and other mouldings, and an interlacing arcade lines the passage within. The design of the Cathedral, which is set down to Abbot Knowle, is of daring originality. And has-seldom, if ever, been adopted since. The side aisles of all the great Gothic churches of Europe were, and still are, much inferior in height to the central choir and nave, thus admitting the two latter to be lighted by a row of windows above the aisle roofs, known as the clerestory, but to carry up his side aisles to the full height of the central church, necessitating feats of engineering skill as masterly as they were novel, the lateral thrust of the middle vault was overcome by a beam of stone - a sort of "at "ying buttress - carried across each bay of the aisles to the external buttresses, the dimensions of which were consequently of extraordinary magnitude. The effect is disappointing when the church is examined from without, giving it the appearance rather of a large college chapel than that of a cathedral; but the efi ect of space, light and wondrous beauty and harmony within never fails to impress the visitor.
