About This Book
The work provides a compact history and a systematic architectural description of the cathedral and its associated episcopal buildings, combining narrative history with close readings of fabric, plan and ornament. It traces building phases from early masonry through later Gothic alterations, catalogues notable features such as the tower, porch, clerestory and screens, and discusses bells, fittings and restorative interventions. The volume is illustrated with photographs, measured drawings and plates, and includes practical visitor guidance, sources, and annotations to aid further study.
