A DOUBLE-HANDED STONE RAIL WAS DETECTED LATER AMONG THE DÉBRIS LYING ABOUT THE ABBEY QUIRE WALLS NOT FAR FROM THE SITE OF THE CHAPEL. XII. AS TO THE WIDTH OF BERE'S BUILDING. SCRIPT. June 16, 1908. "The width ye shall find is twenty and seven, and outside thirty and four, so we remember.--BEERE, Abbas." EXISTING DATA. Nothing known. RESULT. THE WEST WALL OF THE CHAPEL MEASURES ABOUT 31 FEET 6 INCHES. 27 FEET IS A PROBABLE MEASURE FOR THE INTERIOR WIDTH OF THE CHAPEL, WHOSE WALLS, DEEPLY RECESSED FOR THE WINDOWS, WOULD STAND WELL UPON THE OUTER PART OF THE FOOTINGS. THESE ARE 6 FEET 6 INCHES WIDE ON THE NORTH AND SOUTH. THE OUTER, OR 32 FEET MEASURE DOES NOT INCLUDE THE BUTTRESSES. XIII. AS TO THE LENGTH OF BERE'S BUILDING. SCRIPT June 16, 1908. "Wee laid down seventy and two, but they builded longer." EXISTING DATA Nothing known or recorded. No inference possible. RESULT PROVED AS A MEASURE SUBSTANTIALLY CORRECT FOR THE SUPERSTRUCTURE, AS INFERRED FROM THE FOOTINGS. (See plans in _Som. Arch. Soc. Proc._ for 1908-9.) ft. in. Antechapel (approx.) 12 0 Bere's Rectangular Chapel (5 + 50 + 5) 60 0 ------ 72 0 XIV. AS TO A CEILING IN GOLD AND CRIMSON. SCRIPT June 16, 1908. "And he who followed made new schemes for a certaine roofe in golde and crimson." EXISTING DATA Nothing known or recorded. RESULT PROVED BY THE SUBSEQUENT DISCOVERY OF ARCH-MOULDINGS WITH MEMBERS PAINTED IN RED AND BLACK, AND RETAINING TRACES OF GOLD. XV. AS TO A CHAPEL OF FOUR BAYS. SCRIPT February 19, 1908. "And the chamber was in length 70 feet, in four bays." EXISTING DATA Nothing known and no inference possible. RESULT THE RECTANGULAR CHAPEL PROVED TO BE OF FOUR BAYS. THE 70 FEET INCLUDES THE ANTECHAPEL, BUT IS A ROUND-FIGURE ESTIMATE, THE TRUE LENGTH BEING ABOUT 72. (See XIII. above.) XVI. AS TO THE ALTAR SCREEN AND TRIPLE ARCADE. SCRIPT December 2, 1908. "The procession path went round three corners, and they builded the new window after hys time straight. Ye have found the old wall before Monington, I guess, but do not know.... Hee (Monington) did make the Est end full square, that I know he didd, and in hym three arches and a grete screene." EXISTING DATA Nothing known at the time. At Wells there are three arches between quire and retro-quire, behind the reredos, and a similar arrangement at Glastonbury would easily be inferred. RESULT THE EXCAVATION PROVED THAT THERE WERE FORMERLY THREE ARCHES BEHIND THE ALTAR, AND THERE WERE INDICATIONS OF A SCREEN WALL BETWEEN. ADDENDUM TO THE TABLE OF THE VERIDICAL PASSAGES. SCRIPT.
