Text Appearing Before Image:
ut on when, bya change of purpose, vaulting was proposed, in order tostrengthen the wall for the additional weight. The backarcading which is in the solid of the wall they considerthe original structure ; and the front arcading which isnot concentric with the back, but alternates with it, sothat the front shafts stand opposite the middle of theback arches, they consider to be an addition, as it is notbonded to the back, but worked independently of it andsimply stands against it. On the other hand there is thefact that the wall above containing the windows is solidover both thicknesses of arcading, so that there can be noappreciable difference of date between them. Moreoverthe additional strength given by a thin arcading restingon 6 marble colonnettes is too trifling to be of anyaccount, and lastly as to the absence of bond I fail to seehow the work could have been constructed differently,for there is no opportunity of bonding the two arcades 204 EARLY ENGLISH (CH.

I believe the double arcade to bethe original design1, though a very curious one ; but itis not unique, for the triforium at Beverley is like it,and there is the same alternation of colonnettes in theGalilee at Ely3. The importance of the controversy consists in the import-question of date; whether vaults were intended and dateprepared for or not at the rebuilding of the choir in 1192.It is very unlikely that they were not, for the nave hadalready been vaulted after the fire of 1144; the navevaults at Durham, if not so old as some think, are atleast as old as the middle of the century; the choir ofCanterbury had been vaulted before r 179 ; and the retro-choir at Winchester was vaulted in fully developed EarlyEnglish work about 1202 or 1204. Vaulting had by thistime taken its place in English architecture as the naturalceiling for great churches, as it had already
