[Footnote 10:  The two eastern pillars of the nave are circular; and the third pillar from the tower, on both sides, is “composed of nook-shafts set in rectangular recesses against the body of the pier.”]

[Footnote 11:  Some of Mr Poole’s reasoning, as to the different parts of the nave to be attributed to different abbots, depends upon an assumption that the Saxon church was on the site of the present one, and that some part of the nave was still existing in a ruinous condition while the present choir and tower were being built.  Recent discoveries have proved that this assumption is groundless, for the nave of the Saxon church was beyond the south aisle of the existing nave.]
