"Three of the panels in the centre are pierced and glazed, forming a small square-headed window; and under it is a door opening upon an _alura_, behind a crenelated, panelled, and pierced parapet, over a cornice with bosses, at the base of the gable, and just above the east window" (Woodward).

Over the eastern aisle of the north there is no cornice or corbel; "the parapet," says Woodward, "with no more than a water-table under it, is carried across the gable of the north transept, so as to form an _alura_ above the buttress, in front of the circular window there."
