See founded 705. This is the most uniform of tlie cathedrals
;
the origii\al pi in given by Bishop Poore
was carried out by bis successors. Elias de Dereham was cleik of the woiks f.ir the first twenty yeart, and
Robertus for the following twenty. The great regularity of the masonry is a distinctive peculiarity of
Early English work. According to the account rendered to Henry 111., it appeared that 40.0 marks
(22,r,fih/. I3,s'. id.) had up to 12.58 been expended on the fabric. The cliaptnr house is an octagnn 58 ft. diam.
and 53 ft high, with a central shaft; tliis with the cloisters, 182 ft. square, were commenced by Bishop
Walter de la Wyle (1263-70 , and completed byBishopR.de Wickliampton (1270-84). The latter were
restored
18nn-.5fi, by Mr. Clutton for Bishop Denison. The sculptures in the former were painted, 18i9,
Ac, bv Mr. Hudson, and have been explained bv W. Burges. The stone spire is described in 15 3,ch.iv. The
cxiertial length is 480 ft., the breadth 230 ft. The internal length is 450 ft., and breadth 200 ft. The west
front is 112 ft long. Sir C. Wren effected some repairs. Itestoj-ations. 1782-91, by James Wyatt.
