[Footnote 2: A few other cathedrals which were originally churches of
monasteries are still called Minsters, as York (nearly always),
Canterbury (occasionally), Ripon, Southwell, and perhaps more. Lincoln
Cathedral though often called a Minster was a Cathedral from the first,
and was never attached to a monastery.]

[Footnote 10: The two eastern pillars of the nave are circular; and the
third pillar from the tower, on both sides, is "composed of nook-shafts
set in rectangular recesses against the body of the pier."]
[Footnote 11: Some of Mr Poole's reasoning, as to the different parts of
the nave to be attributed to different abbots, depends upon an
assumption that the Saxon church was on the site of the present one, and
that some part of the nave was still existing in a ruinous condition
while the present choir and tower were being built. Recent discoveries
have proved that this assumption is groundless, for the nave of the
Saxon church was beyond the south aisle of the existing nave.]

[Footnote 15: The engraving that accompanies this description represents
a dignified altar-piece, but seems taken from a rough drawing, or
possibly from memory. On the altar were two tapers burning, an alms
dish, and two books. The Abbot's chair, of stone, is to the south,
facing west.]

destroyed in a fire.]
