Note 5 — PART I.
Reading edition
Comparing the relative proportions of Gloucester and Norwich, the difference will be found greater than could be conceived compatible with the same style. They are—
Norwich. Gloucester.
Height of piers15feet.30feet.
Diameter of piers7”6“
Height to base of triforium25”40“
Height of triforium24”10“
Height of clerestory25”24“
Thus at Norwich the three great divisions are nearly of equal height; at Gloucester the lower portion is more than equal to the other two. At Norwich the piers are about two diameters, at Gloucester nearly five in height.
