covered with lead. Several gurgoyles project from the wall at the 

 base of the former. 



Internally the roof consists of rude rafters and purlins without 

 mouldings or ornament, the former resting on corbel-heads, amongst 

 which may be noticed those of a king, queen, and bishop, (the latter 

 with his right hand upraised, as in the act of giving the benediction) 

 a knight with bascinet and shield, &c. 



The arch at the east end of this aisle opening into the transept 

 is of considerable thickness; the staircase connecting the turret at 

 the north-west angle of the tower with the doorway in the exterior 

 wall, being carried over it in order to prevent the lower portion of 

 the turret from completely blocking up the end of the aisle, whicli 

 it would have done had it been allowed to have remained in its 

 original state. 



South. 



This aisle corresponds in every respect, excepting the latter, with 

 that just described. 1 They appear to have been both added to the 

 building shortly before 1450. 



CHAPEL. 



North-East 



This is of a square form, measuring internally about fourteen 

 feet from east to west, and nearly the same from north to south. 

 It is lighted by two windows, each of four lights, one on the north 

 the other on the east side ; the latter, however, is only half the 

 depth of the former, and without tracery. At the angle of the 

 building and the junction of it with the transept wall are three 

 buttresses, which terminate with crocketed pinnacles, the latter 

 being set diamond- wise on each set-off. The parapet was formerly 

 embattled on each side, and the roof flat, and covered with lead, 

 but is now gabled and covered with stone tile. 



Internally this chapel is connected with the chancel and transept, 

 by means of two arches opened in the walls ; these are without 



1 In the arch connecting it with the transept is a transom beam ; this was 

 inserted, possibly, with a view of strengthening the south-west angle of the 

 tower.
