twelfth-century carving. The face shown is cut into pyramid form with a roll in each arris. At Climping, Sussex, this occurs in the jambs and round the arch of a doorway dated in The Buildings of England (1965) c. 1170 'at the earliest'. Fig. 4. 1. Capital, found in debris in area of south transept. Early fourteenth-century. 2. Marble capital for quadruple clustered shafts and probably derived from the mural arcade in the north walk of the cloister. See, Part I, Plate VB, where it is shown reconstructed with the split-cusp arch. The sunk chamfer shown in this profile is typical of Decorated work of the early fourteenth century. 3. Purbeck marble capital from debris at north end of west range. The profile suggests a late-thirteenth- or early-fourteenth-century date. 4. Capital for triplet of attached shafts, found in debris at west end of south range, and possibly related to the layer. Y-shaped channel on the underside for lead key onto top of shafts. 5. Base of jamb shaft of doorway between west walk of cloister and west range (Plate IVA). Fourteenth century. 6. Base from debris of south aisle of nave. Early-fourteenth century.		7. Base of jamb shaft from rubble at north end of west range. The necking is carried across as a lower bar-stop to the adjoining vertical chamfer, as can be seen in the early-fourteenth-century work in the chapter house of Canterbury Cathedral where a late survivor of the devolved 'water-holding' base is present as in the Leeds example. 8. String course from debris on south side of nave. Cf. the moulding on the doorway of 1327 at Rochester Cathedral, figured in Arch. Cant., xxiii (1898), 275. 9. String course, found in debris near refectory entrance. Late-thirteenth or early-fourteenth century. 10. Arch moulding from west walk of cloister. Probably c. 1300. 11. Decorated corbel cut from re-used Norman plinth. On the side opposite to that illustrated occurs the twelfth-century moulding shown in profile on the right. Found in debris of south aisle of nave. 12. West side of the entrance at the north end of the 'dark entry' passage between the south and east ranges (Plate IB). 13. West side of doorway in south aisle communicating with west end of north walk of cloister (Part I, Plate IVB). Plate VIA. Example of 'split cusp' from the mural arcade of the north walk of the cloister.
