X. AS TO THE LITTLE CRYPT UNDER THE STAIRS.
April 20, 1908. "Ye crypt wasmere a chamber under the stairs,and it was at the west end of thechapel."
June 16, 1908. "The cript isfallen in, but the clay is not theold clay. Clear out the midstthereof."		Nothing known at this date ofchapel, crypt, or stair. The riseof ground at east might suggesta raised floor for the chapel exteriorto retro-quire. Britton'splan of Abbey suggests that thetwo piers found circa 1813 on thesite of the middle chapel of theretro-quire were "probably partof a crypt," but there was nothingknown to warrant such a suggestion,and facts were against it.The necessity of a staircaseto bere's chapel is proved bythe subsequent discovery ofits superior level—probablysome seven feet above the retro-quire.As the ground risesimmediately east of the westwall of the chapel, it almostinevitably follows that acrypt would be confined toa small space beneath theantechapel or stairway ofapproach.
XI. AS TO THE DOUBLE HAND-RAIL.
"And ye stairway was dividedin ye midst by a grete rail ofstone," etc.Nothing known at the time.A double-handed stone railwas detected later among thedébris lying about the abbeyquire walls not far from thesite of the chapel.
XII. AS TO THE WIDTH OF BERE'S BUILDING.
June 16, 1908. "The width yeshall find is twenty and seven,and outside thirty and four, so weremember.—BEERE, Abbas."Nothing known.The west wall of the chapelmeasures about 31 feet 6 inches.27 feet is a probable measurefor the interior widthof the chapel, whose walls,deeply recessed for the windows,would stand well uponthe outer part of the footings.these are 6 feet 6 inches wideon the north and south. Theouter, or 32 feet measure doesnot include the buttresses.
XIII. AS TO THE LENGTH OF BERE'S BUILDING.
June 16, 1908. "Wee laiddown seventy and two, but theybuilded longer."Nothing known or recorded.No inference possible.Proved as a measure substantiallycorrect for thesuperstructure, as inferredfrom the footings. (See plansin Som. Arch. Soc. Proc. for1908-9.)

XIV. AS TO A CEILING IN GOLD AND CRIMSON.
June 16, 1908. "And he whofollowed made new schemes fora certaine roofe in golde andcrimson."Nothing known or recorded.Proved by the subsequentdiscovery of arch-mouldingswith members painted in redand black, and retainingtraces of gold.
XV. AS TO A CHAPEL OF FOUR BAYS.
February 19, 1908. "And thechamber was in length 70 feet, infour bays."Nothing known and no inferencepossible.The rectangular chapelproved to be of four bays.the 70 feet includes theantechapel, but is a round-figureestimate, the truelength being about 72. (SeeXIII. above.)
XVI. AS TO THE ALTAR SCREEN AND TRIPLE ARCADE.
December 2, 1908. "The processionpath went round threecorners, and they builded the newwindow after hys time straight.Ye have found the old wall beforeMonington, I guess, but do notknow.... Hee (Monington)did make the Est end full square,that I know he didd, and in hymthree arches and a grete screene."Nothing known at the time.
At Wells there are three archesbetween quire and retro-quire, behindthe reredos, and a similar arrangementat Glastonbury wouldeasily be inferred.		The excavation proved thatthere were formerly threearches behind the altar, andthere were indications of ascreen wall between.
ADDENDUM TO THE TABLE OF THE VERIDICAL PASSAGES.
December 2, 1908. "Soe itwas in my day, that he whofollowed after did enlong the window,and it was full weake andthey rebuilded it. He did buildstrong walls over ye lytell chapelof Our Ladye that then was, andin them a new window, and oneither side he placed a walle whichdid continue the walls of the choire,and did put in an arche and underhym a tombe on either side withthe altar in the midst, and abovethe arche as it was two grete highwindows very narrow, which didmake on to the grete east window,and wyth hym made a grete fairewindow which did light up all thechoir," etc.The suggestion is that one of theAbbots coming after Moningtonsubstituted for his square eastand a bayed end with a principalwindow flanked by two narrowones set anglewise. The great eastwindow of Glo'ster is slightlybayed and has buttressings forsupport to the east. It is recordedthat in Bere's day thegreat east window was "castingout" and had to be given furthersupport.Nothing can be proved asregards any later alterationof the east window, as allabove ground is cleared away.
