Abstract

This paper considers the intended form of the Romanesque east end of Kirkwall Cathedral and presents further evidence for the failure of the Romanesque crossing, investigates the exact nature of its rebuilding and that of select areas of the adjacent transepts, nave and choir.The extension of the eastern arm is examined with particular attention to the lavish main arcades and the form of the great east window.Their place in medieval architecture in Britain is explored and progressive and conservative elements of the building are evaluated in the context of the use of the building.
