 the aisles of later
"Decorated" traceried windows in place of the original Norman ones, and
of the superimposition, before referred to, at triforium
level of a whole range of "Perpendicular" windows over the old Norman
work, which were

blocked up at this period. The pristine aspect, then, of this elevation
of the nave would have shown
a sloping roof over the aisles where now the later addition occurs.
The battlementing, too, over the clerestory to the nave
is later work, to correspond
with battlementing over the triforium windows. It will be noticed that
the two bays next the
transept in the triforium are higher than
the others, in order to throw additional light into the choir. Also on
this same
south side, in the
seventh and eighth bays
from the west end, two very late windows occur, inserted in the Norman
arcading under the original triforium windows;
these were inserted by Bishop Nykke to light the chapel he built in two
bays of the south aisle of the nave. The curious raking of the lead
rolls to the nave roof is noticeable; the mediaeval builders did this
with a view of counteracting the
"crawl" of the lead. Lead, under the variations of temperature of the
atmosphere, expands and contracts considerably; and from its own weight,
and the steepness of the

roofs, the contraction takes place
in a downward direction, and starts

the joints, letting in the weather.
This raking

of the vertical rolls was a device whereby the old builders in some
measure got over their difficulty by inducing a fixed expansion and
contraction. [Illustration: The Clerestory and Triforium of Choir (South
Side).] #The South Transept# projects boldly forward from under the
tower; without
aisles, its ridge

and parapet correspond in height to those of the nave; this narrowness,
with the tower and spire showing over behind,
gives it an appearance of height, as approached from the lower close.
This effect of height is emphasised by the partition of the design in
