which exhibits all the styles of architecture from the Norman to 
the Perpendicular. The two Western bays of the Nave, the 
Crypt, and Chapter House are Norman work, and are the work of 
Bishop Wulstan, 1084, the oldest structures in the fabric, except 
some Saxon arches in the groined passage leading from the 
Cloisters into the Benedictine Monks’ Cemetery. The Choir 
and Lady Chapel are early English, 1224, the whole Eastern wall 
having been rebuilt in 1857 when the whole Cathedral was 
restored at lavish expense by the late Earl of Dudley. The 
Nave of nine bays is of Decorated style except the two Western- . 
most, of the date 1317-21, the triforium being particularly 
elegant. The vaulting was the work of Bishop Wakefield 1377. 
There are many monuments worth examination in the Cathedral, 
from the tombs of King John, 1216, and Prince Arthur, elder 
brother of Henry VIII., who died at Ludlow Castle, 1502, to 
the gorgeous modern erections and recumbent effigies of the late 
Earl of Dudley (dec., 1885) and the late Lord Lyttelton. The 
renowned monument to Bishop Hough, the ejected President of 
Magdalen College, Oxford (temp. James II.) is by Roubiliac ; 
that to the Earl of Strafford and the officers of the Indian Cam- 
paign, 1845, by Westmacott. There are double transepts to 
this Cathedral, as at Canterbury and York. In the N. transept 
of the Nave there is a fine painted window given by the Free- 
masons of the County ; in the S. transept a three-light window, 
_ by Rogers, to Queen Adelaide. 
The Choir, which is of five bays, and elegantly shafted with 
. polished Purbeck detached columns, has two organs, a third is in 
the S. transept, and an organist can play all three organs from 
one set of keys. A metal screen, by the late Sir Gilbert Scott, 
separates Nave from Chancel; an alabaster reredos, presented 
by Dean Peel as a memorial to his wife, divides it from the 
Lady Chapel. The coloured windows of the latter are by Hard- 
man, the floor is of black and white marble.
