[7] The original church at Lyminge, which is said to have been built by the sister of Eadbald, is known only by its foundations. It seems to have had three eastern and one western apse. It is well worthy of careful attention. It seems to have been erected on the site of a large Roman Villa. (G. G. S. 1878.) [8] This tower has since been removed, which I cannot but regret, and a stone one added east of the transept. During the repairs very curious windows have been discovered at a high level, divided into separate lights by a massive baluster roughly wrought instead of being turned. (G. G. S. 1878.) [9] These are now in the Architectural Museum. [10] A considerable diversity of opinion has existed as to the date of this church, some thinking it to be of the tenth century, but others, including Mr. Freeman, identifying it with one mentioned by William of Malmesbury of a far earlier date. (G. G. S. 1878.) [11] This, like that at Monk Wearmouth, has been proved to be a Saxon addition to a Saxon church. (G. G. S. 1878). [12] This tower has been found to have beneath its floor a stratum of ashes, the relics of Sweyn’s incendiarism. (G. G. S. 1878). [13] Throughout the north they are very frequent; five of them are built into the walls of Kirkdale church. I have found very many; and Canon Greenwell has collected many in the old Refectory at Durham, among numerous other remarkable relics of the same periods. (G. G. S. 1878). [14] I have already mentioned one specimen I know; that in the ancient chapter-house at Jumièges. (G. G. S. 1878.) [15] For plan, see Lecture XII., page 98, Fig. 250. [16] This was founded by Judith, the grandmother of the Conqueror, and its most remarkable feature is the use of domical vaulting in its aisles. (G. G. S. 1878.) [17] The word translated “aisle” is, in the life of the Confessor as published by the Master of the Rolls given as “_abitus_;” but, on examining the original in the British Museum with the aid of the experts there, I find a mark of abbreviation making it really “_ambitus_.” (G. G. S. 1878.) [18] See Lecture II., vol. i. page 48. [19] _e.g._ Such windows as those of the Church on the Castle-hill at Dover, where the glass was nearly in the middle of the thickness of the wall, both sides being splayed at an angle of 45 degrees. (G. G. S. 1878). [20] See Italian, French, German, and English domestic windows, Lecture V., vol. i., pages 206-209. [21] See capitals from Caen and Lincoln, Lecture XII. p. 96, Figs. 248, 249.

[25] This seems to be the general opinion, but is by some doubted; and I do not know that it is capable of proof. (G. G. S. 1878.) [26] For illustrations, see Lecture X., Figs. 213, 220. [27] The lower storey of a tower towards the north-east and some parts of the crypt are exceptions. (G. G. S. 1878.)
