Excerpt:
"THE GROINED ROOF.
The groined roof is divided into two bays, and in each bay there is a large central boss, having eight bosses encircling it, four large and four small ones, the four small ones being in each case the further away from the centre. In the eastern bay the central boss looks down upon us the face of the Redeemer, crowned with thorns, surrounded by six angels carrying in their hands shields bearing the emblems of the Passion. The other two bosses in this bay are foliated and bear the "Alpha" and "Omega."
