APPENDIX B.

COMPARATIVE SIZE OF ST. PAUL'S.

AREA IN SQUARE FEET OF SOME OF THE LARGEST CHURCHES.

Square Feet
S. Peter's, Rome 227,000
Milan 108,277
Seville 100,000(?)
Florence 84,802
_St. Paul's_ 84,311
Cologne 81,464
York 72,860
Amiens 71,208
Antwerp 70,000(?)
St. Isaac's 68,845
Chartres 68,261
Rheims 67,475
Lincoln 66,900
Winchester 64,200
Paris, Notre Dame 64,108
Westminster 61,729
Canterbury 56,280

The Basilica of Constantine was 68,000 square feet.

St. Paul's is not so long as Winchester, Ely, York, and Canterbury.

Old St. Paul's was a trifle less in area than its successor, but
counting St. Gregory's and the Chapter House, my estimate from
Dugdale's plan is that it exceeded it. In length it exceeded every
church the dimensions of which I have been able to ascertain, with the
solitary exception of the 680 feet of St. Peter's.
