Summary

• The triforium has two sets of four open arches beneath a pointed arch on each side of the lantern. The arches have a roll molding on the lower edge with a deep grove below. The shafts have three central ones with Purbeck marble and two outer ones of limestone with varying capitals including volute, scalloped and foliated. There are heads carved between the pointed arches and at the base of the shafts in the corners. The clerestory has two round arched windows with a blind pointed arch between on each side.
