The work serves as both a descriptive guide and historical record of Christ Church Cathedral, focusing on its architectural features and the evolution of its structure over time. With insights drawn from recent archaeological discoveries, it aims to recount the cathedral's lineage from its beginnings as a modest church to its status as an important episcopal see. At the start of the text, Dearmer introduces the history of the cathedral, detailing its origins tied to St. Frideswide and the monastic community founded by her. He recounts various significant events, including its destruction in the fire of St. Brice's Day and subsequent reconstructions, emphasizing how its architecture reflects the various historical periods it has been through. The opening also hints at the impact of notable figures like King Ethelred II and Cardinal Wolsey, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of both the building's fabric and its broader historical context throughout the chapters that follow.
