What reading level is Englands Chronicle in Stone Derived From Personal Observation of Cathedrals C book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is exceptionally plain outside, built chiefly of small broken stones, and blackened by exposure, or patched with new work done in light earth-brown stone, with which the central tower is refaced, as also are the low west gable and the large win- dow under it. Throughout the interior the walls have a very pale color, resembling that of Caen stone. The ground-plan shows a cross, of which the choir or head, as sometimes is the case in England, is the longest part; but the main arcade and trifor...ium of the nave are more peculiar, or remark- able, for they are considered to be the oldest in the country. They are Norman and much ornamented, especially the trifo- rium, a very high one ; but are injured in effect by a clerestory in poor Perpendicular. Above them is a new low-pitched roof of oak, simply designed and showing a frame with horizontal tie-beams, in contrast with groins of block chalk in the north transept, and of new dark oak in the southern. Both the tran- sept and the choir are Early English, and have a great deal of dark, slender shafting, giving a spotty effect.
