="Yn feete twenty and two, and foure paces in the width thereof, and ye walle of ye Nave was strengthened thereby," etc.= December 4, 1916. "=Bere's Chapel was distant from ye Navis thirty-one feet and a half, and from= _ye aisle of ye transept_ =he was fulle tenn feet with a covered way unto, and four steppes up unto= _ye aisle_ =aforesaid=. "=There were four steppes--nay, six--to the= _aisle of ye transeppt_, =and a covered way vaulted in a round vault to ye chappel=." August 17, 1917. "=Claustra quae vocantur, vento Boreale aperta est--in vestibule sub turre--English volts=." "=Seek my chapple as I told ye in ye Banck. He was entered from ye west, and had a door into the= _littel cloister by ye transept_ =of ye grete church, and four stepps up to the pavement. Ye door was in ye transept wall at ye end thereof.=" "=Ye door into ye transept in ye north, which I, Camel, used, he was in ye west porche and under the three high windows.= "_A Cloyster from ye Nave to ye Lobby_, =and four steppes unto ye Transept floor, and from ye Lobby, on ye west, ye Chappell=. "_Ne Chappel but ye Cloyster_ =in ye corner of ye grete church=. _Claustrum to ye Chappel along ye aisle, then ye lobby_ =and ye Chappel west of hym=." (Italics mine.--F.B.B.) EXISTING DATA (_a_) The wall-footing discovered in 1911 shows a possible breadth of 12 feet or so for this aisle. The thickness of the footing is evidence of a strong construction. There were some marks of a cross-foundation at a point over 20 feet out north, and near the face of the bank. (_b_) The indications were in favour of a lower level for this work. The drop from the transept level to that of the nave is about 4 feet, and this aisle or passage would appear to be on the nave level. (_c_) Benedictine houses did not usually have western aisles to the transepts, as is the case with cathedral churches. But Glastonbury followed Wells in some things, and at Wells there are western aisles to the transepts, and that on the north side has screens on two sides, within arches to nave and to transept. (_d_) The detail found on this site was of very fine late perpendicular window-tracery, showing the existence of windows with heavy central mullions, and most likely of four lights. (_e_) Camel's house was in the High Street at a point which would be readily approached by a path towards this part of the Abbey Church. WORKING HYPOTHESIS. _That the foundation discovered in 1911 is not that of a chapel, nor yet of an aisle to the transept, properly so called, although it might be thus described since it would have that appearance from without._ _The inference is that this adjunct would have been on the nave level, and its use connected with the nave. It would have been primarily a passage-way from the nave to a court or to buildings on the north side, and it would be properly described as a cloister alley._
