English: Plate 7 from: Rickman, Thomas (1817) An attempt to discriminate the styles of English architecture, from the Conquest to the Reformation, London: Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme, and Brown

Plan of a cathedral, collegiate, or other church, in the form of a cross, with the usual additional buildings. It is not the plan of any particular building, but composed to introduce as many parts as it was expe- dient to describe. The cross lines represent the groinings of the roof, which, in plans of English buildings, are usually laid down on the principle of the division in the last plate. a a, Towers at the west end. b b, Porches. c, The nave, d d, Side aisles of the nave. e, The cloisters, f, The library. g, The north transept. h, The south transept. i i, The side aisles of the south transept. k k k, Chapels. /, Chapter-house, with passage from the cloisters. m, Central tower, cross, or lantern. n, Screen, over which is usually placed the organ o, Choir, at the east end of which is generally the altar. pp, Side aisles of the choir. q, Lady-chapel. The small circles in several of the piers and walls, are staircases ; the steps could not be shown on so small a scale. The organ screen, and inclosure of the choir, are of a lighter tint than the walls, to show that they are not continued to the top of the arches

against this inclosure are placed the stalls in a cathedral. The place of the bishop's throne varies, but it is generally

on the south side, and the pulpit nearly opposite.
