buttresses on both the northern and southern sides of the east 

 wall, which would not have been necessary if either of the side 

 aisles had been constructed prior to it. The two side aisles 

 were constructed against them, and are therefore later. Next 

 came the North Aisle, then the Tower and the rest of the 

 building in the sequence shown on the plans.

The Tower is the smallest and most insignificant found in 

 Guernsey. It has no visible means of access, being in fact 

 approached by a ladder pitched in the North aisle on to a small 

 door in the wall of the Tower. Inside the Tower also its signi- 

 ficance is apparent. It is only about six feet square, it has 

 no lioor, merely the rubble w T hich has fallen from the walls 

 while building, and has only the light which comes through the 

 louvres which let out the sound of the bell. It was however 

 inside this tower that the discovery of the priceless pre-Reform- 

 ation relics made about six years ago took place, and a more 

 unlikely place for a " cache " can hardly be imagined.
