To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This platform has been twelve-and- a-half feet long, by four feet broad.
In the south wall, east of the Belfry Tower, is THE SEDILIA, " The seat of stone that runs along the wall. " This is a truly beautiful piece of workmanship, and is supposed to have been executed by Italian artists. It is much to be regretted that more care has not been exercised in protecting this superb work of art from the vandalism of the Browns and Smiths, who have sadly disfigured the seats and back by cutting their n...ames upon it, and also from the mutilation of the specimen-hunting tourists who have broken off nearly all the groined and sculptured bosses.
The late Mr. Beck in his " Annales Furnesienses, " GUIDE TO FURNESS ABBEY. 28 has given such a graphic and exhaustive description of this object that we cannot do better than quote the passage in his own words. (See engraving, p. 8). " This beautiful series of seats consists of five larger and two smaller niches, elaborately sculptured, and presenting an admirable specimen of the enriched Perpendicular style which characterizes the Chancel.
