Visited by the Society in August, 1888. 16] 
erected at about the reign of Richard III. or early in that of 
Henry VIII. To begin with the transept—the outer walls of 
this were raised, the arches opening into the tower and chapel 
with their rich mouldings and characteristic carved pater@, were 
inserted; and the elaborate pendant-groined ceiling constructed. 
(The way in which the part over the projecting responds is treated is 
very instructive and clever.) The attendant at the sanctus bell 
was probably stationed in this transept, where he commanded a 
view of both the high altar and that in the chapel, and I regard the 
squint as being constructed expressly for this purpose. 
The chapel is a perfect gem of late Gothic architecture. It will 
be seen that on the outside this and the transept are treated as one 
(with the exception that the windows of the chapel are slightly 
larger), the plinth and the beautiful carved parapet and cornice are 
carried through on the same level, and the buttresses of both are 
pinnacled. The niche over the gable is of large proportions, and 
1 would call attention to the manner in which the corbel is formed 
__ by carrying round the under-cut ornamentation of the cornice. 
_ The inside is also profusely ornamented; the arches have, like 
_ those of the transept, their mouldings enriched with carving: the 
3 two niches (which probably contained the figures of the two saints 
to whom this chantry was dedicated) are beautiful specimens of 
eanopied treatment, and the original colouring which remains is 
very valuable. It will be seen that the east window is placed out 
of the centre, to give room for the niche there. The roof, which 
remains nearly intact, has deeply moulded timbers and richly 
_traceried panels; and the bosses are perfect models of the carving 
of this period, whilst the whole is gorgeously decorated in gold and 
colours. The large extent of window surface indicates the high 
value which was set on glass painting at that time as a means of 
J teaching and decoration. Precious bits of this remain in the tracery.

full of interest and instruction to the student of pedigrees, and as
