j^rches.^The Arches are of various forms : that of the eastern 

 window is obtuse pointed ; that of the south window of the side 

 Chapel is segmental pointed ; and those of the remaining windows 

 are equilateral pointed. The doorway of the Chancel is arched 

 square-headed, the corners only b.ing rounded, a form common 

 in France and unknown in England. The Chancel arch is seg- 

 mental pointed, and the arches of the Arcade have also been of 

 that form. The top of the Tomb is obtuse pointed, almost half 

 round ; the tops of the Sedilia are equilateral pointed ; and that 

 of the Piscina is ogee pointed. 



Mouldings.— The hollow chamfer is common. On the jambs 

 of the Chancel and Aisle windows it is very large and a full 

 quarter circle in depth ; mostly it is not much sunk. Tlie filleted 

 roll appears to be the predominating moulding. The plain roll 

 is common, and rounded and feathered rolls also occur. Tlic 

 mouldings are strictly geometrical, their orders are few in 

 number, and lie mostly in the wall and soffit planes, and tlie 

 composition is simple, bold, and eflective. 



£ases.— The bases of the window shaftings are composed of an 

 elliptical-torus astragal following the plan of the shaft, a bell- 

 shaped ogee moulding, octagonal on plan, on a high octagonal 

 plinth ; and in the case of filleted shafts, the fillets are continued 

 on the bases and plinths. Tlie pier base is composed of an ogee 

 astragal following the plan of the shaftings, a bell-shaped ogee 

 moulding, polygonal on plan, and a low plinth squiirc on plan, 

 with the points cut off, placed diamond ways. 



Capitals.— The capitals of the window shaftings iiave undercut 

 neck mouldings following the plan of the shaft, richly floriated 

 bells, and torus-moulded abaci, octagonal on plan ; and in the 

 case of filleted shafts, the fillets appear on the bells above the 

 carving and stop against the abaci. The capital of the pier is 

 composed of a neck moulding and bell, following the plan of the 

 shaft, and an abacus of two filleted rolls divided by a deep hollow, 

 simillr on plan to the plinth of the base. The capitals of the 

 imposts of the Chancel Arch have mouldings similar to that of 

 the pier, and the bells are floriated. 



Or7iamentation.— The building is rich in floriated embellish- 

 ments. The tabling of the soutli wall of the Chancel, the corbel- 

 ling on the east side of the Rood Loft, and the capitals of imposts 

 and shafts, as has been already indicated, are so enriched, as are 

 also the Sacristy doorway, the Tomb, the Piscina, and the Sedilia.
