Notes

The Final Church English Heritage’s reconstruction gives a good impression of how the final church must have appeared from the outside. Inside, the rebuilt nave was now relatively clear, there were fewer burials and no chantry chapels. The internal walls were white, possibly painted with red lines to look like masonry, wall paintings told bible stories. The crossing and choir survived from the second church. Robert de Brus and his wife Agnes lay in the place of honour between the Canon’s stalls in the Quire. Further eastthe new presbytery finished at the new east end. This is an outstanding example of early Northern Gothic architecture and of exceptional quality. There were several chapels at the new East End and a processional walkway passed between them and the high altar. |
