Above the west doorway there is a very large pointed window (see Fig. 893), filled with mullions and tracery. The wide opening is divided into two sections by a large central mullion, branching into two arches at top; and these subdivisions each contain smaller tracery. It has been suggested that this west window has been heightened, the jambs being so low up to the caps and the pointed arch above so high; but there is no apparent alteration to justify this view. This form of window is not infrequent in late Scottish architecture, as at Paisley transept, Seton Chapel, &c. The parapet above the window is evidently modern, and the gable has doubtless been heightened. This part of the church has recently undergone a fresh restoration, but it consisted almost entirely of the removal of the galleries in the aisles and new seating in the centre. The pillars and arches of the interior have been allowed to remain at the high level to which they were heightened during the previous restoration; and it is fairly questionable whether they are not more effective as altered than when they stood at the original lower level. The aisles having been originally vaulted, the old vault stood at the former low level. The ancient wall rib was, therefore, at that level, but was chipped off during the restoration. The stones which composed the wall rib can still be traced in the walls in both aisles (see Fig. 892). The string course over the main arches was originally at the same height as in the choir, but had to be chipped off. Traces of it can still be seen. The heightening of the piers had also the effect of cutting off the lower part of the vaulting shafts, thus depriving them of the base which they have in the choir. The old vaulting was necessarily removed when the aisles were heightened, and the church is now vaulted in plaster. [Illustration: FIG. 896.--The Parish Church, Haddington. 1, 2, and 3. Details of West Doorway. 4. Cap of Shaft, Nave Clerestory. 5. Jamb of West Window.] The tracery of the windows of the nave has been renewed, and is entirely without cusping. The transept has been to some extent destroyed, especially at the [Illustration: FIG. 897.--The Parish Church, Haddington. North Transept and Tower.] north end, the north wall being demolished. The corbels and wall ribs (Fig. 897) show how each end was divided into two bays, and that the whole was vaulted. Owing to the absence of aisles, the transept walls, which have few windows, have a heavy aspect, especially externally, where the blank wall is not much relieved by the buttresses employed. This is seen in the view of the south transept (see Fig. 894).
