This column and that opposite to it on the north side have been regarded as entirely Decorated imitations of Archbishop Roger's columns, but surely without sufficient reason. Two holes have been drilled through the rear-vault from the attic above, but for what purpose it is hard to say. It appears from the Fabric Rolls that a new high altar was begun in 1522.
With the exceptions mentioned, these bays resemble those opposite. It has been remarked that the choir was probably as long in the twelfth century as it is now. The huge east window, which is not splayed, has a deep rear-vault bounded by a massive rib, whose outer edge rests on slender engaged shafts with foliage on their capitals, while the inner edge ends in bunches of foliage.
The east window, however, is not splayed, and has a deep rear-vault and a flat sill, while its rim is more elaborately moulded and there are shafts to the inner as well as to the outer arch. Except in the two easternmost windows on the north side, the glass is very poor. The Decorated vaulting-shafts are again in clusters of three, but rise from the bench-table and break the string-course.
