Lots of showing off to the neighbouring towns, old wool money.

Found a little bakelite measuring spoon there years back :)

They had cranes, powered by people in a treadmill. They used water as a level. The floor of Salisbury cathedral is only 2 inches out over the whole area :)

There would have been a wooden scaffold either side of the walls as they were being built, tied together thru the wall by putlogs that were removed as the scaffold came down and the holes filled.

You can spot the filled holes in most buildings.
