interrupted series of eleven bays, the twelfth making a 
presbytery. The section of the pier is very complex, the 
shafts under the soflits of the arch are semi-oetagonal ; the 
arches are of a sort of four-centred form ; the elerestory 
has only one segmental window, with Ogee tracery in each 
bay, with a niche on each side of the roof-shaft. This, 
it will be remembered, is a different arrangement from 
that of Martock and of St. Mary’s at Oxford, where the 
niche actually takes the place of the shaft as the apparent 
support of the roof. The spandrils are large and plain, but, 
as there is an unusual amount of blank space in the clere- 
story also, this is hardly felt. 
At Swaffham the arcades are Decorated, but the 
clerestory, with its thirteen windows and its magnificent 
roof, ranks among the finest and most characteristie speci- 
mens of the local Perpendicular. Hingham has also a 
Perpendicular clerestory over Decorated arcades ; but 
here, though the roof is grand, the windows are small and 
single, and inserted, Sussex-fashion, over the pillars instead 
of over the arches. Wymondham has a Perpendicular 
clerestory of single windows over its vast Norman arcade 
and triforium. 
Several of the Norwich churches afford good studies 
of the style under various modifications. St. John Mad- 
dermarket is perhaps the best of the smaller buildings. 
St. Andrew’s Hall, which, it will be remembered, is the 
desecrated nave of a monastie church, is a very charac- 
teristic specimen, and differs in nothing from purely 
parochial examples. The piers are lozenge-shaped, sending 
up roof-shafts, of which each alternate one is broken by a 
capital at the impost of the pier arch. There are two 
windows over each arch, the intermediate roof-shaft rising 
from the apices.
