are rather richer than those in the south.

[Illustration: South Transept, Triforium, and Clerestory.]

The corbels of the vaulting shafts, which are placed just above the
capitals of the piers, are very large and richly decorated with four
rows of foliage.

They support three shafts each, one large and two very slender, as in
the nave. On each side of the larger shaft is a dog-tooth moulding.

The main arches, especially on the east side of the south transept, are
considerably out of plumb, owing to the great weight of the lantern, and
perhaps to the inferior material used in the transepts.

The triforium consists of a single great circular arch in each bay. It
is divided by a thick central cluster of shafts into two smaller arches,
and these in turn are divided by slenderer piers into two smaller arches
still. In the head of the largest arch is a cinquefoil opening
ornamented with cusps and dog-tooth moulding.

In the heads of the smaller arches are quatrefoil openings decorated in
the same way. The mouldings of the large arches are very bold, and
ornamented with dog-tooth; those of the lesser arches are less bold and
plainer.

The shafts of the triforium run down on to a gabled sill which cuts into
their bases. There is the same arrangement in the choir.

The clerestory consists of an arcade of five divisions, the three middle
being windows, the outer ones blind. The clusters of shafts dividing
them are very rich and thick.

The mouldings of the arches are broad and deep, the dog-tooth ornament
being profusely used. Above the arches is a cornice decorated with
foliage.

The vaulting shafts terminate in the wooden ribs of the roof, without
the division of a capital, about two feet above the string course.

The aisles are vaulted, as in the rest of the minster, with stone.

The shafts supporting the vault are very richly clustered and varied.
The mouldings also are broad and deep; in fact, some of the finest work
in the whole of the minster is to be found in these aisles. Below the
aisle windows runs an arcade with trefoiled arches, which is very plain
and simple in its details.

The ends of the transepts, as has been said, are altogether different.
The arrangement of the windows of the south front is described in the
account of the interior. That arrangement is not particularly happy on
the outside. It is even less so when seen from within. This is partly
the result of the stained glass of different per
