To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
At Oxford the large square vault under the Schools Tower, and also the central compart- ment of that of the DIVINITY SCHOOL (324.8), have three pairs of tiercerons in each cell (331). Then comes in another great improvement. For if the vault of the SOUTH TRANSEPT OF LICHFIELD (328) be examined — it is the same in plan as that of Westminster nave — it will be seen that the space from rib to rib is now so small that in the greater part of the vault it can be bridged over by single flat stones ; n...o arched courses being necessary. The difficulties of web-construction are not merely reduced, they are annihilated. The vault has become, or is on the verge of becoming, a rib and panel vault : a result little foreseen by Geoffry de Noiers when he designed Lincoln choir. When this was once realised, as it could not fail to be, that given plenty of ribs, the webs could be filled in with panels, more and more ribs were provided ; till the vault became nearly all rib. EXETER (324,7) is an example of this latter type ; with one pair of tiercerons east and west ; and three pairs north and south ; a most noble vault ; every rib doing definite work ; fastening down and clamping the bays Y Digitized by Google 338 INTERMEDIATE RIBS.
