To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The lower story, i,e, the lower stage of the tower, is absolutely plain. So is the spire. All this to show off better the ornament of the intermediate story, which includes the upper stage of the tower and the pinnacled drum. In this steeple all the ornament is concentrated at the mid-zone. In ST MARY'S, OXFORD (631), the mid-zone is the pinnacled base of the spire. Owing to the wealth of ornament here, it is possible to give more orna- ment to the tower than at Patrington, and to provide the s...pire with rolls. At LOUTH (611) again the ornament grows in richness upward till it culminates at the base of the spire. For the great west window is substituted a pair of windows ; in the next story the windows have crocketted ogee drip- stones ; then comes a galaxy of panelled pinnacles, big and little, battlements, windows, and flying buttresses. Finally this wealth of ornament dies away in the crockets converging to the summit. Louth is beyond compare. One of the most remarkable of its characteristics is the vast height to which it seems to soar; therein surpassing every spire.
