THE STYLE

           The style of architecture that has been adopted in the building is an early phase of 13th Century Gothic, of the somewhat French type found in the east end of Canterbury Cathedral. It was selected as giving a broad and grand effect with great simplicity of detail.

        The plan of the Cathedral in its completed state made it consists of a Nave about 40 feet wide and 130 feet long. Narrow aisles were made in the building thus giving a total internal width of about 56 feet. There are two Transepts on the North and South respectively, a Chancel with an Ambulatory, a central tower at the intersection of the Nave and Transepts and a West Porch.. The two Western Towers with Spires could not be completed. The total internal length from East to West is 225 feet.
