Clerestory Walkway, Downward Staircase - N - (-------------------------------------------------) - <---(M)---> - - S - The building has been extensively modified shortly after its completion to accommodate the large clerestory windows that line the western walls. Through these windows you can see the large flowing buttresses that support the upper levels of the structure. A thick wooden banister protects you from the sheer drop to the nave arcade to your east. A small staircase descends to the second floor, and a narrow walkway continues north and south.
