It consists (Fig. [1121]) of a single oblong chamber about 107 feet long and 28 feet wide internally, with a three-sided apse at the east end. There are now no windows in the north and west walls, but the south wall is divided by buttresses into seven bays, with a large pointed window in each, which, together with the three windows of the eastern apse, sufficiently light the church. The central window of the apse is larger than the others. The tracery in the windows is modern. The buttresses between the bays are bold and effective (Fig. [1122]), having a broad moulded base and being enriched with canopied niches for statues on their face. The canopies on the buttresses next the apse are placed

The buttresses are now finished on top with gabled pinnacles, but these are a modern restoration. The original pinnacles were, doubtless, of the late and rather stunted character usual at the period, of which one specimen survives, at the north-east
