Monument record TR 15 NE 1208 - The Monk's Choir, Christ Church Cathedral
Summary
The original choir in Lanfranc's Norman cathedral was shortlived, for under his successor Anselm, a new monk's choir took its place, stupendously increased in size with a second pair of transpets and three chapels all raised upon a crypt, this practically doubled the size of the cathedral.
