Abstract:		 Details the architectural history of one of only three fully vaulted Romanesque churches in England. Less than half the medieval fabric remains, however, it provides much evidence of the architectural history. The fabric preserves work from three main building phases: the south transept, crossing, and stumps of the north transept and nave are Romanesque; the choir, the western bay of the Lady chapel, the north and north-east chapels, and part of the south-east chapel represent an early Gothic rebuilding, while the choir vault, crossing tower, the sacristy in the angle of the south transept and the south choir aisle, and the remodelled south-east chapel are Decorated Gothic. The work of all three periods represents some of the finest work in English medieval architecture, and with the Gothic fabric arguably at the forefront of design at the time. Further, it presents many fascinating archaeological problems which are instructive methodologically in that they illustrate the importance of the careful observation of details in order to obtain an accurate understanding of the evolution of the building. The documentation is presented first, followed by discussion of the different phases of construction (Romanesque, Gothic, and post-1287/88 fire), in separate sections. In each case the state of research is examined as a prelude to the detailed examination of the fabric in its architectural historical context.
