It does not, however, match the external string on the other side of the choir, but resembles the internal string in the choir-aisles. The single window in the south wall is round-headed internally, and is partially splayed on one side and not at all on the other: indeed the wall here appears to have undergone some alteration.
The Decorated window in the fourth bay is treated in the same manner as the rest of those in the eastern portion of the choir-aisles, and the Decorated buttresses which flank it are those which have been followed up from the crypt. The rich string-course or cornice along the top of this and the west wall corresponds with that on the other side of the church.
'We get the grouping of the chapels and choir-aisles more clearly shown and the whole culminates to a more perfect pyramid from this spot do you think so? 'Yes. I do. A little further, and Christopher stopped to enter, when Ethelberta bade him farewell.

Unlike that over the choir-aisles and the Markenfield chapel, however, it has all its arches rounded, and is without wall-ribs. It springs from five-sided corbels which, like the corbels of the old nave, are finished off with scrolls, and which on the north side are placed against the piers of the arcading; and in the middle of the room it is supported on two cylindrical and monolithic pillars.
