view of north west transept with tower on top, which was to have fronted the cathedral before the idea of the giant porch came about. the transept marks the change from the norman to the gothic, and dates from 1175-90. the turret ending the later west front was completed by 1238, with a c14 spire , at which time the large window was cut into the transept.
