[25] Gunton says, "that in the foundation thereof, Peada laid
such stones, as that eight yoke of oxen could scarce draw one of
them."

[29] Britton, in speaking of these door-ways, says, "There are
also two door-ways to the southern aisle of the nave, _both_
having _semicircular_ arches, &c.;" but this is evidently an
oversight.
[30] These door-ways are supposed to have been built in the
middle of the 12th century. It is worthy of remark, that one
door-way in the western wall, which is now filled up, is
attributed to the Anglo-Saxon age.
[31] Vide note at page 4 of this work.
[32] The columns of the beautiful west front were also composed
of the same marble; but, being much dilapidated, they were in the
time of Dean Monk, taken down, the best sorted and again put up,
and the others replaced by Ketton stone.
