There is no documentation for the construction
of the new nave, probably begun at the end of the twelfth century.
The choir and transept arms, sometimes dated in the mid-13th century
were probably begun under Bishop Hugh
and finished by around 1235.
The life of Bishop Hugh is documented by Lindy Grant, who, noting
his foundation of six chapels
in the cathedral and his burial in the
choir, suggests that he was a building bishop.

It is possible that the original Gothic nave and choir had no flying buttresses (see cathedral of Bourges).
