Portions of the Tower which are at the present time in danger 
of fallıng. 
Portions of the battlements of the stair turret, weighing 
more than 2 cwt. are in imminent danger, being quite de- 
tached and overhanging the wall. 
At the north eastern angle of the parapet, the small pin- 
nacle projecting from the larger one, and overhanging the 
north aisle, rests entirely on a very decayed and dangerous 
gurgoyle. This pinnacle weighs probably nearly 10 cwt. 
and is disjointed, crooked, and at its centre shattered so 
much, as to render it extremely dangerous. 
The great pinnacle at the north eastern angle of the 
parapet is falling apart. The finial is splitting asunder, 
and many fragments are likely soon to be precipitated on 
the roof of the church. 
At the south eastern angle of the parapet, the small 
pinnacle is in a dangerous state, and portions ofthe great 
pinnacle are quite loose. 
At the south western angle of the parapet, the small pin- 
nacle is quite unsafe, and several cwt. of stone may fall at 
any time. A stone weighing about eight or nine pounds has 
fallen, and has been caught by the projecting neck of the de- 
cayed gurgoyle, where it is just balanced, and overhangs the 
corner atwhich the school children play between school hours. 
The great pinnacle at this corner has also many very 
dangerous portions. 
The great pinnacle and the small overhanging one at the 
north western corner, are in a similar condition with the 
preceding. 
The pinnacle in the centre of the parapet on the north 
side has portions quite loose which would fall at a touch, the 
small shaft in connection with it, depends for support on the 
legs of the gurgoyle, which are worn away and reduced to 
the diameter of an inch. 
All the great pinnacles surmounting the buttress are 
dangerous. Four of them are in a frightful state and will 
fall before long, they weigh more than 10 cwt. and two 
would fall on the church. 
The buttresses on the north side of the west front is un- 
dermined and separating from the wall.. A great portion 
now rests on about eight inches of masonry much decayed. 
Above two tons of masonry will probably slip at once when 
this stone gives way.
