Lincoln cathedral . ate of Robert Grosseteste a furtheraddition was made, the Galilee Porch, a state entrance for thebishop from his palace into the south transept. Here again itwould be difficult to find any other work of the period of equalrichness. But it was in the south-east porch, the grand entranceto the Angel Choir, that the builders won their greatest triumph :here alone in England is to be found the peer of the famousdoorways of the French architects, and the attempt is worthy torank with their best efforts. Restoration seems to have been in-evitable ; but the inimitable drapery of the four great statues andof the figure of Christ, in the Judgment which fills the tympanum, remains, and conveys some impression of the original beauty of thewhole. On either side of the porch are chantry chapels, on the eastthat of Bishop Russell (1480—94), on the west that of BishopLongland (1521—47), which though a copy in its main features ofthe earlier work shows signs of the coming renaissance in art.

Hugh began building in 1190, and at the time of hisdeath ten years later, the walls of the eastern transepts, the choir, and part of the great transept were finished. The most interestingparts of his work are the transepts with their internal towers, apsidal chapels, and crocketted piers, the wall arcade, and the boldnaturalistic carving of the capitals. The curious vault of the choir, and the necessary buttresses were added soon after his death, whilesome think that the front part of the double wall arcade is not hiswork. John de Welburne, the treasurer, gave the magnificent choirstalls, the misereres of which are ex
