of the transept (about 14ft.) and flanked by pinnacles with embattled 
terminals. This arch is elaborately moulded and treated with seven 
principal cusps, each having cinquefoiled sub-cusping; the label has 
the ball-flower ornament closely spaced ; the central finial is modern, 
but is probably a fair copy of the original. The great width of this 
arch suggests its use as a double tomb, and it is occupied by two 
stone coffins of earlier date than the tomb itself (czrca 1340), both 
having incised crosses, and one a shield with the letters | A and a 
star upon it. Another slab with incised cross on it lies on the floor 
in front of the tomb. There is an Elizabethan recessed tomb in 
the west wall. 
The south transept has similar windows to those in the north, but 
the arches of those in the east and west walls are less acutely pointed, 
a a ee lit 
a 
and they retain the original iron-work consisting of one crossbar in 
each light with a stanchion bar having well-forged trident-shaped 
head. There is a niche in the centre of the east wall with projecting 
_ eanopy which has been largely restored, and a foliated corbel 
; modelled in Roman cement—presumably a copy of the original. 
_ On the south of the position for the altar is a piscina, the canopy of 
_ which has been entirely renewed, and if it was originally anything 
hike this it is difficult to see how the piscina could have been used. 
A stone bench-table runs along the south and west walls. There is a 
rich modern canopied tomb against the south wall, designed by the 
elder Pugin, and erected to the memory of a former rector—the Rev. 
G. A. Montgomery, who was killed by the fall of an arch in the 
new Church at East Grafton in 1842. An inscription on the wall 
records his munificent bequest for the further improvement of the 
Church. The vaulted ceiling of this transept is in two bays and of 
similar description to that in the chancel: a string-course is carried 
round the walls and over the windows as in the chancel, but the one 
under the sills does not occur. 
The remarkable erection outside the south wall of this transept 
is worthy of special attention. It may be described as a low vaulted 
chamber of two bays in one undivided length, each bay having an 
arched opening about 3ft. wide and 54ft. high in its disengaged 
side and end, the arches are well moulded and have good labels over;
