To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In the clerestory, there are three windows to three bays, and two to the fourth, on each side. 'I'he fall of the central tower in i237-() worked great havoc in tiiis part of the building. 'I'he vault was crushed, and the western bays were much weakened and damaged. The original slender shafts round the two westernmost piers on each side were converted into chmisy columns without capitals ; this no I04 LINCOLN CATHEDRAL doubt added considerable strength, but rendered them far from beautiful. The... arches, too, had to be partly reconstructed. In the first arch on the south side, the rings of stone across the mouldings mark the point where the later work joined the earlier, but did not quite fit. A similar example of faulty jointing will be seen on the corresponding arch on the north side towards the aisle. Turning to the triforium, we see that in the western bays clumsy eight-lobed pillars have taken the place of the original clustered shafts. These have been compared by Precentor Venables to "pounds of candles.
