the clerestory, as is also the door and the five-light window over it 

 at the west end. 



Both transepts were re-modelled in the fifteenth century. The 

 one on the north contains a chantry chapel of the Hungerfords 

 (whose badge, three sickles, appears on the screen and the remains 

 of the late Perpendicular monument). This chapel is supposed by 

 Canon Jackson to have been founded in 1421 by Walter, Lord 

 Hungerford, K.G. (who was also owner of a chantry dedicated to 

 S. Mary founded in 1300 in the south part of this Church and the 

 founder of the chapel in the nave of Salisbury Cathedral in which 

 he was buried in 1449), and it was probably at this time that it 

 was separated from the rest of the Church by the beautiful stone 

 screen which remains under the tower arch. This screen has good 

 fan-vaulting, also a small aumbry on the inside for use at the chantry 

 altar. The cresting of the screen has been lost. The transept had 

 a stone vaulted ceiling added as part of this re-modelling, but this 

 has also been lost with the exception of the two corbels bearing the 

 symbols of S. Matthew and S. Mark. This vaulting was probably 

 destroyed in 1644 when the roof was lowered, as indicated by the 

 stone in the wall outside. The east window of this transept is a 

 good three-light Perpendicular one (the new one in the north gable 

 is described by Mr. Talbot ^ as " a cross between Early English and 

 Perpendicular,'' and was probably thus designed by the architect to 

 avoid misleading future antiquaries), and the interesting archway 

 in the east wall is reported to have been taken from the west wall 

 when the new arch was inserted there. The window in the gable 

 of the south transept is a three-light Perpendicular one with two 

 transoms, but the tracery has probably been cut away. 



Early in the sixteenth century the upper part of the north aisle 

 walls and all the buttresses there with one exception were re-built, 

 and the four debased three-light windows constructed (the latter 

 have had their mullious and the inner parts of the arches renewed). 

 The western part of the south aisle with the similar window in the 

 south wall was dealt with in the same way (this window has been
