Photograph by Roger Stalley. View of lavabo arch and capital. The damaged capital shows remains of affronted winged birds or hybrids. The abacus is plan. The string-course above the capital is broken. The soffit is moulded with a triplet of roll-and-fillets, each separated by a fillet. The soffit rolls are separated from the outer orders by a three-quarter hollow flanked by fillets. The outer two orders are largely comprised of keels, hollows and roll-and-fillets.Role:
