h the situations of the two windows in it, the return of its octa-gon buttress, the floors and timber roof in the tower, with the face of thewestern wall, and the interior of the spire. This section is made throughthe centre of the south tower, and continued in the same line to the middleof the nave, when the line of section is taken through the first division and A view of this door-way will be given in The Chronological and Historical Illustrations ofthe Antient Architecture of England. Mr. Carter made a drawing of this west front for the Gentlemans Magazine, 1810, in whichhe represented the statues and ornaments as in a perfect state.
