Building
Renowned for its magnificent Gothic architecture, the Minster, at 333 ft long, was built between 1220 & 1425. The East End, with much Purbeck marble, is largely Early English, the Nave in the Decorated style and the West end Perpendicular but the whole welded together by the continuous vaulting from end to end. Particularly famous is the Minster's large collection of medieval musician carvings and its 68 miserichords, carved in 1520, in the Choir stalls.
