[ 2 3 I ] 
At E, an iron bar N°. i. about twenty five inches 
long, was inclofed nine inches deep in the ftonework 
or the pier, feparating the Eaft arch from the arch 
next it towards the North: the end of this bar 
joins at a right angle another bar, N°. 2, which is 
Idid aciois tne arch. 1 he lightning accumulated in 
t.ie iron (h°. 1.) which was inclofed in the ftone- 
woik, has bunt off all the ftone that furrounded it, 
c.nd part 01 the pier adjoining. The flaw is con- 
tinued downwards, as ex prefled in the drawing, 
meeting with lmaller iron cramps in it’s way. 
At b, the next arch lying immediately under the 
laft mentioned one, an iron was inclofed in the ftone 
in the fame manner as the bar at N°. 1. The ftone 
is torn oft from this iron exactly in the fame manner 
as at N°. 1 : but the damage has not reached much 
fui tnei than the ftone which was contiguous to and 
coveied this bar. At the bottom of this arch the fill 
ftone, which covered fome cramps of iron, is torn off 
from ids place. 
At G, the next arch under this, the force of the 
lightning feems to have been much diminifhed, a 
ffnall part of one ftone only being broken. 
From the wall at the Weft fide of the South win- 
dow of the belfry fome ftones are thrown down : 
one chalky ftone in particular is reduced into an 
impalpable powder, and the wall under the Weft 
window is almoft covered with the powder: this 
ftroke feems to have been directed towards the hells 
one of which is very near the place damaged : the 
bells have not been examined ; nor can they, as I 
am informed, without danger of fhaking the fpire by 
their motion.
