architectural antiquities.
the plans of four different columns, and proportion and direction of the groining, &c.
The letters and figures of reference on both correspond ; excepting the following.
On Plate II. the columns are numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, and on Plate I. they
are marked f, g, h, i, k, and l. The column G. Plate I. and 2, Plate II. is that
called the apprentices pillar. Plate I. is lettered and figured from Mr. Gandy's
drawing, and all the references correspond with the numerous details which that
artist made. As the whole of these have not been engraved, some of the references
are superfluous to us: but the greater part will serve to point out the situation and
plans of the pinnacles, brackets, &c. on Plates VIII. X. XI. XII. XIII. and XIV.
Thus, figures from 1 to 23, in sequence, shew the number of buttresses; and their
appropriate details are also figured on the other plates. Nos. 1* to 12* refer to
the small columns against the wall; on the capitals of which, one end of the stone
beams rest. Figures I. to XV. mark the places and number of those beams. These
are very extraordinary members, and are covered with much varied and curious
sculpture. Some of them are shewn on Plate VII. Letters a, b, to q, refer to the
bottom tier of windows. The lower portions of five of these (internally) are dis-
played in Plate III. and one of them (externally) Plate VI. : the latter is marked c
on the plan. In Plate XIII. the mouldings and tracery of six different windows
are represented. The mullions, both internally and externally, are faced with
doubled columns, and the jambs are embellished with niches, canopies, sculptured
brackets, &c.—Letters A, B, to Q, refer to the fourteen columns within the chapel.
Six of these are shewn, geometrically, in Plate III. and the six at the east end,
perspectively, Plate VII.
The exterior elevation of the east end, and sculptured details of several other
parts, are shewn in Plates IV. VI. VIII. X. XL XII. XIII. and XIV. An exami-
nation of these, with a few remarks, will enable the reader to understand the general
design and ornamental parts of the outside of the chapel. Plate IV. shews the
lower tier of windows, and the range of buttresses and pinnacles at the east end.
Not only the parts, but the whole design of this elevation, are unlike the generality
of sacred buildings : as it displays four windows of uniform size and style, though
with some variation in their tracery. Here are also five buttresses, with the sides
of two others belonging to the north-east and south-east angles. Each buttress has
a firm, broad base, with several mouldings, a sur-base moulding, a canopied niche,
with a column-pedestal and bracket-pedestal alternately; and is surmounted by a
circular pinnacle. These pinnacles are delineated to a larger scale on Plate XL in
architectural antiquities.
