Exterior view of the south side of the cathedral church, seen from the south-west, with the long side of the nave flanked by flying buttresses in the foreground, and the square tower and south transepts in the background. The buttresses were added to the cathedral by Sir T. G. Jackson between 1909-12 during a general restoration. The tower was replaced soon after it collasped in 1107, and the transepts date to the 11th century. The Norman arcade attached to the south transept connects the Deanery to the cathedral, although this cannot be seen in the image. The first parts of the cathedral, including the nave, transepts and crypts, were built by Bishop Walkely between 1079-95.
