Cathedral : the story of its construction

Macaulay, David. (Author).

Summary: "This richly illustrated book shows the intricate step-by-step process of a cathedral's growth. The plan is agreed on; the site is chosen; each craftsman's contribution is presented; his tools and materials are described. The details of construction are graphicallly explained from the building of the foundation and the erection of the walls through the details of the flying buttresses, vaulting, and roofing, on to the the completion of the towers and the casting of the bells. The grandeur of the cathedral unfolds through the book until finally the reader shares with the townspeople of Chutreaux a sense of wonder at the power of their creation.
