Commencing a walk of the walls at the east gate, formerly the eastern boundary of old Chester, but nearly the central point of Chester of the present day, and proreeding northward, the venerably cathedral attracts attention. It is from this point that it is seen at Its best Its site Is stated to have been occupied by a temple dedicated to Apollo during the time that the city was inhabited by the Roman legionaries. The Chester cathedral is a large. Irregular pile of buildings, erected at different periods from the 11th to tbs 16th centuries, showing surprisingly pleasing transitions in styles of architecture. Its general style may be called Norman-Gothic- . The Norman remains are extremely fine. The most ancient parts of the cathedral appear to be the north transept, the north wall of the ante-choipart of the east cloister and the chapel bouse. The choir Is exceptionally beautiful.
