Summary

• The upper story of the Galilee porch has three lancet windows. At the corners are shafts with dogtooth in between and ending in narrow pinnacles. On each side are pairs of blind cinquefoiled arches with sunken trefoils in the spandrels. Throughout the detached shafts are clustered and have stiff-leaf capitals with dogtooth in the moldings of the arches. There is also dogtooth between the shafts of the three central lancet windows. Three clustered shafts on each side of the central window each end in a tiny pinnacle.
