What reading level is Westminster Abbey book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
East of the central tower the piers have four shafts ; west of it they have eight. Their capitals are not encircled with carved foliage, as they would have been in a French church, but are simply molded, as at Beverley and Salisbury. Perhaps this was because they were carved or turned in a lathe at Purbeck ; and there was less risk of damage in the course of transport if a capital was molded than if it was foliated. In Ely presbytery, however, at this same time foliated capitals of marble were ...being put up ; probably the marble was imported in block and Purbeck masons came over to carve it ; at West- minster also there is a superb foliated capital carved in Purbeck marble carrying the vault of the Chapter House (92), in addition to foliated caps in the arcading of the aisle walls (86). In the molded capitals of Westminster the masons seem to have had a free hand ; they probably had a general idea given them, and each man carried it out in his own way. So it was to some extent with the bases.
