## Image Caption
Ground plan of the Salisbury Cathedral showing the development of the layout of churches during the medieval period. Despite the complex layout with multiple aisles, transepts (G, H, O, P) and end (R) and side-chapels (W, X, 3-5), it preserves the basic 2-3 cell layout (C, nave; J, choir/quire; L sanctuary/presbytery).
