Notes on the Plan. 
The Norman Apses , excavated 1901-2 and 1912-13. 
Fragment of early building, outside the central Aspe, discovered 
in 1912. 
Norman angle buttress , veneered with Early English masonry. 
Fragments of Norman Church , built into foundation walls of Choir. 
Norman foundations around Vestibule, some not on clay. (Transl.) 
wall, 3m. above clay ; side wall of passage, i2in. above clay ; 
wall of Chapter House , (Norman) on large blocks, rests on clay. 
Foundations of wall of Henry VIII.’s Vaults are i8in. above the clay 
and of loose stuff. 
Foundations of Sacristy, evidently visible in 1827, as they are indi¬ 
cated on Sharp’s Plan, and on a plan in my possession made 
about the same time. 
Choir , consisted of 9 bays, the two next the tower are narrower 
than others, being same width as aisles of transepts. The 
western half of the south arcade, excavated in the autumn of 
1912 ; numerous fragments of bases, columns, arch stones, 
vaulting shafts, carving and glass-ware unearthed. A com¬ 
plete jamb of the westernmost clerestory window together 
with a large portion of tracery from the triforium were amongst 
the hidden treasures. The remains of a tomb, probably that 
of a young knight, consisting of a stone coffin, walls and 
flooring of grave, built in brickwork, fragments of the marble 
grave-slab with traces of chasing and studs for a “ brass,” 
also the clasped hands of an effigy in chain mail were dis¬ 
covered ; these, together with small specimens of Roman and 
mediaeval pottery and glass-ware, have been added to the 
collection in the Architectural Museum. 
Sacristy , occupying similar position as that at Selby, which in many 
respects closely follows St. Mary's. 
North and South Transepts , with eastern aisles. Steps found, 1827, 
in corner of S. Transept, by which the brethren gained access 
to the Church when called for meditation.
