"The Cathedral of the South-West in Anglo-Saxon times" (Pevsner, 1951), and one of the most interesting churches in the region - few parish churches have two west towers, I would have thought. The northern (further) tower has a C13 octagon over a Norman base, and Pevsner compares it to Jumièges by the Seine http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/78/Jumi%C3%A8ges.jpg/270px-Jumi%C3%A8ges.jpg . This view is from Church Street.
