The nave seems to have consisted of seven bays in addition to the towers, and was of unusual width. A considerable portion of the south wall of the south aisle survives, and still retains the corbels which carried the vault of the south aisle. This wall, no doubt, formed the north side of the cloister walk, and contained the fine doorway from the cloister to the nave, shown in Fig. 500. Some traces of late Norman work are, as already noticed, observable here. The arch is pointed, and contains four orders of mouldings. The label is enriched with the dog-tooth, while the other ornaments, as well as the details of the caps and bases, are of a somewhat Norman character. The design of this doorway is thus in the transition style, while the remainder of the building is all of early pointed work. The undercut cross bars, which formed a chevron enrichment rising above a roll, have all been knocked off, only the stumps being left. One of the caps contains traces of two figures, and the ornamentation of the bases is peculiar (see enlarged sketches in Fig. 500). Two plain round headed doorways can be traced in the south wall of the nave, near its west end. They doubtless led from the nave into the cloister. Modern buildings now occupy the site of the cloisters, and the old cloister wall is incorporated with them. One of these houses bears the date of 15--, and comprises some of the plain vaulted structures which appear to have formerly been part of the abbey buildings. The south wall of the south transept, with its gable (Fig. 504), is, fortunately, fairly well preserved, and forms a lofty and prominent object in the landscape, rising to a height of about 90 feet. Its triple lancets, with their plain chamfers on the outside, and bold mouldings in the interior (Fig. 505), and circular light above, are characteristic of thirteenth century work. The mouldings and dog-tooth enrichments of the arch of the eastern aisle (see Fig. 505) are indications of the same period. Similar mouldings and ornaments have been carried up into the triforium, and remains of a circular cusped opening are visible in the east wall above. One arch of the arcade of the east aisle, with one pier and respond, still survive. All the work connected with them is of fine first pointed design. A doorway in the south-west angle of the transept led to the stair to the upper parts of the structure, and, doubtless, also to the dormitory over the chapter house, &c. From Mr. Galloway’s explorations it was discovered that the foundations of the north wall of the north transept still exist, thus enabling the dimensions of the church to be determined. Both transepts had, as was very usual, only an eastern aisle.
