Bishop Bradfield's Tomb Tomb from c1300 in the south choir aisle at Rochester.The effigy is in low relief and very worn, the head missing altogether. Rochester Cathedral is not one of England's best known (being somewhat overshadowed by it's nearest diocesian neighbour Canterbury) but is nonetheless one of the most interesting and rewarding of our medieval churches. The present building was begun by Bishop Gundulf in the late 11th century though most of what we see today is 12th century Norman work in the nave and main facade combined with the 13th century Eary English style eastern arm and transepts. The central tower and spire date only from 1904 but are based on the medieval original (having become ruined in the 18th century and unsuitably rebuilt in the 19th) The most significant feature is the elaborate 12th century west facade (altered by the large 15th century window and much restored by the Victorians) which retains it's fine sculpted central doorway, complete with damaged tympanum of Christ in majesty with rare but battered column figures (once like those at Chartres) below. Other treasures within includes a fine 13th century crypt, a wall painting of the Wheel of Fortune, several fine bishop's tombs and the exquisite late 14th century chapter-room doorway. / VFL.Ru — надёжный и быстрый фотохостинг с 2009 года
