The clerestory windows consist of five lights, the two outer ones 
on each side of the central light form a separate composition with 
quatrefoil tracery, the whole supporting a large circle filled with 
quatrefoils in squares set diagonally and trefoils. 
The tracery is principally occupied with glass dating from Nor¬ 
man times to the middle of the thirteenth century, and which has 
been taken from the windows of the destroyed Norman nave. 
Some of the quatrefoils contain Norman figures as the one in 
figure 3 which is in the fourth window from the east on the south 
side. The tracery is chiefly filled with Norman ornament as 
shown in figs. 1,3, and 4. 
The windows are filled with plain geometrical leaded glazing, 
having a band of coloured subjects in geometric panels crossing 
the upper portion with inscription underneath, whilst across the 
base are heraldic shields in similar geometrical panels. The 
Plantagenet arms for the King occupy the centre, with those of 
nobles on each side. 
Some of the coloured bands are thirteenth century work, the 
remainder of the glass is fourteenth century work with a few 
fifteenth century insertions. 
Six windows on the north side were taken out and replaced 
from July 1909 to September 1910. Five windows on the south 
side were similarly treated between May 1908 and November 1909. 
The cost of the eleven windows was ^*2,593 7s. iKl. averaging 
about ^"235 15s. 2d. a window.
