IN THE WALLS OF CHURCHES.

303 tlicrc is a rcmarkal)]e example, tliroiigli the north-east angle of the wall of a south chapel, towards the high altar, from the evident site of the chantry altar, of which the brackets and piscina remain. In the Perpendicular style very remarkable and fine examples occur at Minster Lovell, Oxfordshire ; these are under the tower, and being placed diagonally, serve as a sort of fiyhig buttresses to it, while they serve at the same time to open the chancel to the transepts, and similar but larger openings throw open the nave to the chantry altars in the tran- septs. The ground plan of this church is very remarkable, the central tower being considerably smaller than the space left at the intersection of the cross, and the chancel narrower than the nave; the whole is made to lit and to harmonize admirably by means of these small arches at the angles con- necting the piers of the tower with the side walls; the effect of the in- terior is singularly elegant and beauti- ful.
