1. Pier 3 South Marker
The south side of the nave was built in the 12th century in Norman Romanesque style. The pieces of stone here display the robust Romanesque architecture f this side of the cathedral. The half round shaft is typical of this style and many would have been attached to walls and piers supporting round arches. The Romanesque piers were basically rectangular in plan.
The York stone pads beneath each glass box represent the shape and size of the pier bases, as found in the 1999-2000 excavations.
