To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Of this Benedict built the east walls about as high as the cill of the clerestory windows, abandoning the pre- cedents of 1 1 17 and designing the work with noble pointed arches, overlaid, how- ever, by a profusion of Norman zigzag.
Fifth Period. — Benedict was followed by Abbot Andrew (i 195-1200), who built the westernmost bay of the clerestory and finished the western transept. His northern tower still remains ; in 1730 it had a wooden spire. Andrew also commenced a spacious porch to lead in...to his central doorway, after the manner of the Galilee porch of Ely (11 98-1 2 15). Of this he finished only " the side walls from the springing of the wall arcades at the east to a few courses above the bases to the west ; arfd the lower parts of the central opening and the two narrow side openings.'' Sixth Period. — Then came Abbot Acharius (1200-12 10) from St. Albans, where he was Prior, and where a lovely west front was building or on the point of being built.
Even Benedict and Andrew's west front was not good enough VAULTING UNDER THE WEST TOWER 266 PETERBOROUGH CATHEDRAL for Acharius, and he decided to build yet another fagade in front of theirs, finishing and absorbing into it Andrew's western porch.
