The cathedralwas founded by Bishop Jocelin in 1181, and the crypt was consecratedin 1197, but no great progress was made in the church itself untilafter 1242, and as there is no apparent change of style nor break inthe work, some suppose that the crypt was rebuilt; and the tomb ofBishop Jocelin, who died in 1199, is in the same style.

HENRY II. Ill A.D. 1185. The Temple Church, London. The round part of the church was completed and dedicated in this year; the style is en-tirely transitional, with pointed arches, but jSormau details, and notvery much advanced. The choir is of later date, and in the EarlyEnglish style. The followiug inscription is preserved in the wall overthe west door :— TIONC-DQMINI.

Glastonbury Abbey, Somers tshire, rebuilt afterthe great fire which consumed all the previous buildings. Tlie wallsof St. Josephs Chapel are nearly perfect, and a fine example of ad-vanced transition. The remains of the great church are in rathera later style, and for the most part pure Early English. It appears that the wooden church built by St. Dunstan remaineduntil the time of the great fire, as the early Norman buildings of stonewere always constructed
