Salisbury Cathedral
The nave, looking towards the west front. which is long and narrow, to emphasise its height. The walls are light grey Chilmark stone and the columns dark polished Purbeck marble. The height of the nave is 84 feet (25.5m) and seems quite high enough, though the highest is Beauvais Cathedral, which rises almost twice as high, at an astonishing 156 feet (47.5m). Interestingly, Beauvais was begun in 1225, at almost exactly the same time as Salisbury.
