PERPENDICULAR OF SOMEBSET AND EAST-ANGLIA. 19 
Decorated, and the piers have no continuous or discon- 
tinuous mouldings, for, though elustered, they finish under 
the capital, so that there are no roof shafts, nor is there any 
vertical division of bays. But the arches have a most 
unnecessary discontinuous impost above the capital, and 
the clerestory has the two windows over each bay in per- 
fection, producing a range, which I then thought well nigh 
innumerable, of fourteen. 
Walpole St. Peter exhibits the local Perpendicular in 
perfection, though in a comparatively small and plain 
building. The piers, save that their shafts have octagonal 
capitals, might exist in Somersetshire, but the two windows 
above and the shaft between them, rising from the top of 
the arch, are distinetively East-Anglian. 
Terrington St. Clement’s came next. I could enlarge 
for an indefinite period on this vast and magnificent 
building, even though much of its effect is lost by the 
mutilation of the transepts, and though the detached cam- 
panile is in itself a poor substitute for a central lantern, 
and moreover goes a good way to ruin the magnificent west 
front. But just now I am mainly concerned with the 
interior of the nave. Strange to say, the pillars are of the 
common octagonal form, which, of course, tends greatly to 
diminish the actual Continuous effect, though, as the work- 
manship is excellent, the arches being beautifully propor- 
tioned and elaborately moulded, it does not take off so much 
as might be expected from the general grandeur of appear- 
ance. The clerestory, two large windows over each arch, 
with roof-shafts springing from the string beneath, is one 
of the grandest in the district. 
St. Nicholas, at Lynn, is called a “ chapel,” but such a 
chapel as might be expected where the parish church 
might rank as a cathedral. Nave and choir form an un-
