| Herbert's energies went into the whole church, the nave and transepts as well as the chancel. |
|
| This refurbishment includes replacement, pointing and refurbishment of stonework on the four faces and the north and south transepts. |
|
| Internally, the building is divided into a nave, transepts and side aisles composed of ornamental cast-iron columns and girders. |
|
| What survives today as the parish church is the crossing, transepts, presbytery, and ambulatory. |
|
| The restoration will also include work to the stonework of the north and south transepts, which are also crumbling badly. |
|
| Shortly after it was built, small north and south transepts were added. |
|
| There was possibly a sense that in comparison to the magnificent new transepts and nave the choir itself, once so widely acclaimed, was no longer splendid enough. |
|
| It has a fine Norman nave and transepts with a 13th-century choir and chapter house, where the stonework with its distinctive Southwell foliage is unique. |
|
| Unique to the transepts and chapter house is the use of Purbeck marble to adorn the piers, adding to the richness of decoration. |
|
| The transepts are in line with the high altar and serve to throw light onto it. |
|
| The new choir formed a church unto itself with its own transepts and a semicircular ambulatory opening into three chapels. |
|
| The transepts, unlike those of many French cathedrals, always project strongly. |
|
| It was cruciform, having a chancel, nave and north and south transepts, and had features from the Early English and Decorated periods. |
|
| The north and south transepts were the first parts of the new church to be built. |
|
| Work began on the chapter house and its vestibule that links it to the north transept after the transepts were completed. |
|
| Inside, only the crypt and the transepts have retained their Norman appearance. |
|
| The Norman nave and transepts survived until the late fourteenth century, when they were demolished to make way for the present structures. |
|
| The new transepts, aisles and nave were roofed with lierne vaults, enriched with bosses. |
|
| The new span was built in a similar style to the original three spans, but the detailing is different and it has no transepts. |
|
| Like the great medieval cathedrals of York and Winchester, St Paul's is comparatively long for its width, and has strongly projecting transepts. |
|
|
|
| The dome is supported on pendentives rising between eight arches spanning the nave, choir, transepts, and aisles. |
|
| The Choir is seated at one end of the transepts in the same level of the nave. |
|
| The west portion of the church was demolished, perhaps in the early 14th century, when the existing nave was rebuilt with two transepts. |
|
| Both have two transepts, a large central tower, a large porch to the north side of the nave, a cloister to the south, off which opens a polygonal chapter house. |
|
| It has an impressive vault, the longest medieval vault in the world, which runs between two Norman towers placed, uniquely among the cathedrals, over the transepts. |
|
| The choir and transepts have a fan vault by Robert and William Vertue. |
|
| As a result of the high water table in the new location, the cathedral was built on only four feet of foundations, and by 1258 the nave, transepts and choir were complete. |
|
| These new parts east of the choir transepts were raised on a higher crypt than Ernulf's choir, necessitating flights of steps between the two levels. |
|
| The minster has a very wide Decorated Gothic nave and chapter house, a Perpendicular Gothic Quire and east end and Early English North and South transepts. |
|
| In the early 15th century these transepts were enlarged into aisles. |
|
| For this reason the transepts of English cathedrals are longer than those in most other countries, and there is often a second transept, as at Salisbury. |
