This Cathedral, which is smaller than most others in the Kingdom, measures in length, (including the walls) 408 feet; in breadth 76 feet, and the height to the vaulted roof, is 69 feet. The Towers, to the top of the battlements, are 130 feet, and the pinnacles to the summit of the vanes 36 feet: […].

The West front is formed by an elegant facade or screen, divided into three parts by two projecting buttresses: in the centre part is the principal entrance into the Church, on the right hand of which is the Founder's Bishop Grandison's) Chapel: in the other divisions are smaller entrances which differ much in their architecture and decorations; and if history had not informed us that the whole was the work of Grandison, it might naturally be concluded that they were erected at different periods of time.
