Of the choir the outline only could be traced during the excavations. The eastern angles terminated with massive buttresses. The extreme external width over the bases was only 42 feet 6 inches, thus leaving a choir not more than 30 feet in width internally. From the massive foundations discovered at the intersection of the nave and transepts, it is surmised that there may probably have been a central tower as well as the two western towers.
