What reading level is The Cathedrals of England And Wales book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Now the Jesus Chapel is separated from the aisle by a lofty stone screen supporting the rood and attendant figures, and is furnished with an altar, above which is a wooden retabulum of five openings, an almost life-size figure of the Blessed Virgin and Child occupying the centre, and small scenes from the Life of Christ, the sides. This graceful piece of work is due to Mr Martin of Cheltenham, and, as well as the stone screen, is from the designs of Mr R. A. Briggs, F. R. I. B. A. The stained g...lass in the northern window of this chapel, by Wailes, has been in position for more than half a century, and although not of the highest order imparts solemnity to what is now one of the most charming bits in the cathedral. Of ancient stained glass, there are a few remains in the second, fourth, fifth, and sixth windows of the south aisle. The cores of the piers supporting the tower are Norman, veiled in Late Decorated work, the slender shafts from which the four great arches rise being similar in character to those on the south side of the nave.
