This character of detail is also borne out by the design of the remains of the great central tower pier, before described. At Copford this feature is dealt with as a square projection to both pier and arch. To give emphasis to the fitness of the comparison chosen some particulars of each may be given.

The great piers at Chepstow are 6 feet 6 inches east and west, and 6 feet north and south, whilst those at Copford are 6 feet 6 inches
