Summary

• The vaulting is sexpartite with vaulting shafts, capitals and annulets of Purbeck marble. There are only two levels, the clerestory and arcade. The clerestory has an arcade in front of the windows with a large lancet opening and very narrow lancet arches on each side and large dogtooth outlining the windows and arches. The capitals, shafts and annulets are all Purbeck marble. The lower arcade has arches with multiple roll moldings but an outer roll of billet molding. All of the arcade abaci, shafts and annulets are Purbeck marble with limestone molded capitals.
