As it stood in 1311

The shape it held in its prime.

A vast cruciform Gothic cathedral of warm honey-coloured Lincolnshire limestone, dominated by a massive central tower (in 1311 surmounted by a tall lead-encased wooden spire) and two square western towers framing a deeply carved west façade of blind arcades and pointed portals. Long Early English nave with clustered columns, ribbed vaults and a high clerestory, steep lead roofs and flying buttresses along the aisles, and large tracery-filled rose windows on the transepts; the cathedral rises above a low red-brick town.
