But in some of the foreign examples given by ^Ir. Petit ' there is no eastern limb, the apse being attached immediately to the tower, so that a building of this sort becomes at once triapsidal. Diil the little church of New- haven, Sussex, possess transepts furnished with apses, it would exactly present the plan of St. Sulpice and the church at Strasburg, engraved by Mr. Petit. Newhaven^ is, in fact, one of the most remarkable .-iiid })ictures(pic buildings with which I am acquainted ; it is a church of the lllley type, with the choir under the tower, the presbytery assuming the form of an apse immediati^y attached to the eastern wall. It is mucli to be regretted that the original nave does not exist, but its foundations can be easily traced.
