THE PRESENT BUILDING
 
Like many buildings which have stood for centuries, the Cathedral has had periods of great contrast; periods of intense activity and vigorous building programmes, and periods of neglect and decay. There have been Bishops of great vision and those who were never in residence. Some of the master masons were visionaries in their own right and were far ahead of their time. Later, as the power of the dean grew in relation to that of the bishop, there were deans of learning and restoring zeal. Money, or the lack of it was often a significant factor.
