The canonical architecture of Cross is a deliberate fusion of three periods.
Renaissance gives it classical proportion, symmetry and a serene monumentality. Baroque gives it rich ornament, movement, drama, gold and hard light-and-dark contrast. Victorian gives it iron, glass, soot and the railway station that arrives, uninvited, next to the cathedral.
The three do not blend evenly. In any city of Cross you can read which century had money by looking at which of the three is on top.
