# Interior view [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [ARCHITECT, English]() - Date: 1051-1100 - Technique: Photo ## Commentary Around 1080, Robert de Losinga, bishop of Hereford \(1079-1095\), decided to rebuild his cathedral of SS. Mary and Ethelbert. The ground plan and elevation of the east section, which was consecrated in 1110, followed what had become a well-worn pattern in England: a nave and side aisles were connected to a projecting transept. The east wall of the southern transept arm remains. Further parts were constructed in the first half of the twelfth century. The nave and side aisles - the round pillars in the ground floor are still Romanesque - were not completed until the rule of Robert de Béthune \(1131-1148\), and the church was consecrated in 1148.
