The church exhibits the rare feature of transeptal aisles. ❋ Various (N/A)
These transeptal towers are peculiar to this church and the other on which he spent his enthusiasm, Exeter ❋ Rosalind Northcote (N/A)
I, had raised the transeptal towers -- a feature that no other English cathedral possesses -- and since his time the Lady Chapel had been added, but the design of the Cathedral as a whole was evolved by Bishop Quivil. ❋ Rosalind Northcote (N/A)
All the Norman windows which had remained unaltered were now filled with tracery, not of particularly good design; the great west window and the others in the west wall were similarly treated; the conical tops to the transeptal corner turrets were altered into battlements; the screens in the transepts were made, and, probably, the groined wooden ceiling in the choir. ❋ W.D. Sweeting (N/A)
Its plan is as perfect as its simple but imposing architecture; the ecclesiastical appearance is heightened by the lancet windows between the heavy buttresses and the slight transeptal extensions that give the structure the form of a cross. ❋ Edric Holmes (N/A)
They are placed in the two transeptal chapels and form one of the chief attractions of the place. ❋ 1840-1916 (1913)
Langham churches in Rutland have large transeptal chapels with western aisles: the north chapel at Langham was removed in the fifteenth century, when the aisles of the nave were widened. ❋ Unknown (1912)
The nave has aisles with transeptal chapels, very regular and symmetrical in plan, but is continued beyond the opening of the transeptal projections by an aisleless bay, east of which comes the chancel arch. ❋ Unknown (1912)
Lindsey, although an advance in transeptal construction was made, the main principle was imperfectly grasped. ❋ Unknown (1912)
Variety of treatment of transeptal chapels 105 61. ❋ Unknown (1912)
It is quite clear that the transeptal chapel, being nothing more than an excrescence from the wall of a nave or aisle, is a feature which may be treated with some freedom. ❋ Unknown (1912)
The distinction between true transepts, in churches with central towers, and the transeptal chapels which are nothing more than northern and southern extensions of the aisles, has been made already; and it has been seen that the cruciform plan with central tower reached a very full state of perfection during the twelfth century. ❋ Unknown (1912)
These chapels appear to be enlargements of earlier transeptal chapels; while the tower seems to have been built over the chancel of the earlier church. ❋ Unknown (1912)
The final step by which the church reached its present plan was the addition of a transeptal chapel to either aisle, opposite the site which, more than three centuries before, had been chosen for the piers of the abandoned central tower. ❋ Unknown (1912)
Instances in which a transeptal chapel is aisled are even less common. ❋ Unknown (1912)
In aisled churches, such transeptal additions are simply outgrowths of the aisle walls, and were not necessarily planned with any regard to the spacing of the arcades of the nave. ❋ Unknown (1912)
Before we proceed to the development of the chancel, the transepts or transeptal chapels of the parish church invite discussion. ❋ Unknown (1912)
But we have seen that there were cases in which it was thought advisable to take down the central tower altogether, and build a new one at the west end, in which case the transepts were of no structural use; and there were far more cases in which the transeptal excrescences were merely projecting chapels. ❋ Unknown (1912)
Very often, where special chantry chapels were built, they took the position of transeptal chapels. ❋ Unknown (1912)
At Bottesford in north Lincolnshire, where much rebuilding was done in the thirteenth century, the transeptal chapels open from the bay east of the chancel arch. ❋ Unknown (1912)
