The West Tower
The North Transept forms the oldest part of the Cathedral that is still standing, and dates from around 1090. A close-up picture of the 15th Century rooves, shows it decorated with angels.
In 1322 the Norman central tower collapsed. Alan of Walsingham, and William Hurley created this massive central tower. Eight huge pillars support 200 tons of timber, glass and lead, hanging in space: a major feat of engineering.
