PERPENDICULAR OF SOMERSET AND EAST-ANGLIA. 7 
Two large arches, which evidently opened into a nave to 
the west and a choir to the east, support a tall, slender 
hexagonal turret, an excellent example of Perpendieular 
brickwork, which forms a most striking object in the 
general view of the town, and which must have had a still 
more singular appearance when perched upon the roof of 
a rather broad church. Neither building seems ever to 
have had transepts. 
The chancels are generally well developed, especially 
when the church contains work earlier than Perpendicular; 
nor is it common, as in Somersetshire, to find such dis- 
proportion between the two parts as we see at Wrington. 
The chancels are generally lofty, and have tall bold chancel 
arches.. But in some cases, especially in town churches 
which are Perpendicular from the ground, we find an 
arrangement of which Somersetshire, as far as Iam aware, 
affords no example. No architectural distinction is made 
between nave and chancel, which must have been 
divided by a screen only, but the arcades and clerestory 
are continued uninterruptedly to the east end, or, more 
commonly, to within a bay of the east end, so that the 
eastern bay, standing free, forms a small constructive 
presbytery. St. Nicholas at Lynn is a splendid example 
of this arrangement ; so is St. Peter Mancroft in Norwich, 
in which city there are several smaller examples. St. 
Mary’s, Bury, has a still more remarkable arrangement. 
A large choir with aisles is well defined, and divided from 
the nave by a chancel arch, but beyond this is a small 
constructive presbytery, no less pointedly marked off from 
the choir by asecond arch. Ido not know any church where 
the threefold division is so very distinetly marked, for, as 
no tower or transept intervenes at either point, the sole 
intention of the arches is clearly shown to have been to
