About This Book
The monograph traces the cathedral at Oxford from its Saxon origins through medieval rebuildings, Reformation alterations, and later restorations, combining archaeological findings with architectural description. It surveys exterior and interior features—tower and spire, nave, choir, transepts, chapels, cloister, chapter house—notes carved details, stained glass, monuments, and the shrine of St Frideswide, and explains structural discoveries such as early apses and foundations. The work also outlines the priory's foundation, the transformation into a college chapel and diocesan seat, offers a concise institutional history including lists of bishops, and is illustrated with plans, drawings, and photographs.
