To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Scott have been quoted as proof of this ; but Dean Goodwin says that the scheme was not taken in any way from the foreign example, and that Mr. Le Strange had not seen the Hildesheim ceiling when his design was formed.^ It is worth noting that some of the faces of the prophets are portraits ; that of Isaiah, for instance, is a portrait of Dean Peacock. The general tone of the colouring is intentionally subdued, and the effect of this is said to be to increase the apparent height of the nave. Th...e twelve subjects along the central portion of the ceiling, commencing at the west, are these : (i) The Creation, (2) The Fall, (3) The Sacrifice of Noah, (4) The Sacrifice of Isaac, (5) Jacob's Dream, (6) The Marriage of Ruth, (7) Jesse, (8) David, (9) The Annunciation, (10) The Nativity, (11) The Adoration of the Shepherds and of the Magi, (12) The Lord in Glory.^ On the inner slope on each side of the central line for the ten western bays are figures of patriarchs and prophets, each wilh a scroll bearing some of his own words, all having prophetic reference to the Messiah.
