Hereford Cathedral

The south transept of Hereford Cathedral illustrates most of the Norman derivatives of the Romanesque: (a) The plain roman arch, (b) the Roman arch with orders, giving a series of superimposed arches, (c ) blind wall arcading, (d) open wall arcades, and (e) an enclosing arch, with a pair of arches having a central round column ad side pilasters. the decorative work is also typical, partly deriving from classical architecture, partly from Celtic interweaving patter. The whole display remains as a result of successive rebuilding efforts over a century. One century later, all these elements were to be transformed.
