Description
The
Ohio
State
School
for the
Blind
utilized
models
,
like
this
one
, to
allow
its
students
to
perceive
the
shape
of
large
buildings
they would
otherwise
be
unable
to
experience
.

The
negotiations
failed
;
“Hath
not the
Bishop
land
of his
own
that he
must
needs
spoil
the
Abbess’s
?
Varily
he
hath
many
more
sites
on
which
he
may
build
his
church
than this
Wilton,”
was the
reply
of the
Abbess
to his
demand
.
During
his
period
of
indecision
, the
Virgin
appeared
to him in a
vision
and
commanded
him to
build
his
new
church
in a
place
called
Myrfiled
, or as
some
accounts
have
it
Maerfield
. He
searched
vainly
for a
piece
of
ground
by that
name
, that he
might
obey
the
supernatural
edict
until
by
chance
he
overheard
a
laborer
(or
a
soldier
–
the
legends
vary)
talking
of the
Maer-field
, and then
having
as he
through
identified
the
place
,
which
appears
to have been
within
his
own
demesne
, he
commenced
to
plan
the
present
building
.
Misled
by the
similarity
of
sound
, the
name
maerfield
has been
naturally
enough
interpreted
to be
Mary-field
. Not
only
from the
fact
that the
site
was
given
by the
bishop
may
we
infert
that the
Poores
were a
wealthy
family
, but his
brother
,
who
was his
immediate
predecessor
in the
see
,
is
described
in the
osmund
register
as
dives
et
assiduous
(rich
and
painstaking)
and
Richard
Poore
,
before
his
enthronement
, was a
benefactor
to the
monastery
of
Tarrant
in
Dorsetshire
his
native
village
.
Later
we
find
he
gave
a
large
estate
at
Laberstook
to his
new
cathedral
.
Hence
, the
old
theory
that his
name
was
derived
from
Poor
or
Pauper
, as
it
appears
in
several
old
chronicles
is
untenable
. The
external
length
of
Salisbury
Cathedral
is
480
feet
, and the
internal
length
is
450
feet
. The
transept
is
230
feet
outside
and
206
feet
inside
. The
chapter
house
is
58
feet
in
diameter
and
53
feet
high
.

The
cloister
is
182
feet
square
and
is
used
mainly
for
recreation
such
as
religious
activities
,
athletic
contests
, etc. The
plumbery
is
used
as a
workshop
. The
height
of the
steeple
is
404
feet
. The
height
of the
building
proper
is
80
feet
. There are
two
entrances
to the
cathedral
,
outside
of the
gate
to the
cathedral
. The
one
is
by
means
of the
proch
which
is
used
for
special
occasions
,
such
wedding
. The
amin
entrance
is
on the
west
side
of the
cathedral
. The
word
cloister
means
a
covered
walk
or
passageway
around
a
court
. This
word
which
comes
from the
Latin
claudere
,
meaning
to
close
, was at
first
applied
to the
entire
space
enclosed
within
the
walls
of the
masonry
cathedral
or
collegiate
establishment
of the
Middle
Ages
.
Later
it
designated
the
four
cornered
court
in the
center
of the
main
group
of
building
,
which
was
surrounded
on
all
sides
by a
covered
,
arched
corridor
.
Sometime
the
term
was
applied
only
to those
corridors
; the
central
open
space
,
which
contained
a
wall
and
garden
, was
known
as the
garth
.
Within
the
cloister
, the
monks
were
accustomed
to
enjoy
their
recreation
.
Sacristy
or
vestry
is
a
room
in or
attached
to a
church
where
there
sacred
utensils
,
vestments
,
etc.
, are
kept
.
Nave
is
the
long
,
narrow
halls
which
ordinarily
rises
higher
than the
isles
flanking
it
and
which
usually
has
windows
on
each
side
above
the
isle
roof
.
Presbytery
is
that
part
of a
church
reserved
for
officiating
prists
, as the
choir
or
sanctuary
or
both
.
