Description

The south transept was restored by G.E. Street in 1871 and the roof rebuilt between 1984 and 1988. It has a large double door in the centre, flanked by four niches with pointed arches. Above the niches is a string band and a pair of windows on each side. Above the door is an arcade of six blind arches with trefoil heads and painted columns. Above is a triple lancet window and a rose window which dates to the early 16th century. To the right is an arcade with tall wrought iron gates underneath.
