NOTES: The rebuilding of the Minster in Gothic styles began between 1230 and 1241 with the southern wing of the transept, built by Archbishop de Gray. The Zouche Chapel was added to the east end in 1350 and the central tower in Perpendicular style was built in 1407-1423 to replace the original tower that collapsed in 1407. The south tower was built in 1433-1477, and the north tower in 1470-1477.
