PRIORY OF THE HOLY TRINITY AT REPTON. 155 
growth of the building to be ascertained with some degree of 
certainty. 
The oldest portion of the existing remains seems to be the west 
wall of the north transept, with the jambs of the arch opening into 
the nave north aisle. This is apparently of late Transitional 
date. Of very little later date are the eastern responds of the 
nave arcades. Then follow the rest of the nave—which is, how- 
ever, not all the work of one period ; the south transept ; the south 
chapel ; the tower, choir, and alterations to the east side of the 
north transept. 
With regard to the nave, I have nothing to add to my former 
description, except a few remarks on the base moldings. Despite 
the great difference in the plan of the pillars, the sections of the 
moldings do not indicate any corresponding difference in date. 
Beginning with the moldings of the eastermost pair of piers, we 
find them repeated on a somewhat larger scale in the north-west 
respond, which is perfectly different in plan. The south-west 
respond, again, has the same plan as its fellow, but the mold- 
ings are quite unlike, though each exhibits the same roll molding 
below, which is not found on the first pair of piers. A reference 
to the sections on Plate VIII. will make this clear. 
Before leaving the nave, it should be mentioned that, near the 
south-west side of the westermost pier of the south arcade, there is 
a piece of solid foundation level with the pavement, as if a font or 
other heavy object had stood there. 
The north transept was about 33 feet long, by about 
21 feet wide. Its north wall has been entirely removed, 
but the position of it may be fixed by its bond with 
the west wall. The latter remains to a height of a few feet, 
which increases suddenly towards the south to the height of the 
springing of the arch opening into the nave aisle, the jamb of 
which is almost complete, including a considerable portion of the 
capital. Of the corresponding jamb only the base-plinth is left. 
The jambs have plain re-entering angles, and are of the Tran- 
sitional period. In the west wall of the north transept was a 
large recess, 13 feet 10 inches wide, and at least 4 feet ten inches
