As it stood in 1508
The shape it held in its prime.
The west front is a wide, vertical façade of honey-coloured oolitic limestone dominated by two massive square towers and a high central section filled with three tall pointed-arch windows and rows of stone niches containing some three hundred sculpted figures. A central arched main doorway with two smaller portals below deeply moulded arcades sits above a broad trimmed lawn. The building displays pointed Gothic arcades, tracery, pinnacles and a crenellated skyline; the cloister and chapter house adjoin the main body to south and north.
