York : Plan of Norman minster, c. 1080 - 1100;
12th century extensions in heavy outline.

During the twelfth century the first Norman cathedral was expanded in all directions.
Probably after the fire of 1137 both transepts were lengthened, and later a pair of western towers was erected
outside the west front of the nave to form a wider front of about 95 feet.
