There would be a holy water stoup in the wall, on the right hand as one entered the church : often the stoup is found in the porch. In some of the Norfolk churches — Sail, Cawston, Aylsham, and Worstead are the best instances — the lower part of the tower is sci'eened ofi" from the nave, the screen supporting a floor which forms a ringers' gallery. In the ringers' gallery at Sail there is a kind of crane, by which the cover of the font, which stands close to the west end, is lifted. In a few ch...urches, as at Weston- in-Gordano in Somerset, there are remains of a small gallery above the main doorway of the church. This is sometimes explained as a gallery used on Palm Sunday by the semi-chorus who joined in chanting 112 FURNITURE OF THE CHURCH [ch. Iv the processional hymn. Such a gallery might be used Dy singers or minstrels on special occasions. § 53. The transepts, where they occur, were, as has already been said, used as chapels, or divided off into more than one chapel. Little need be said of the chapels on either side of the chancel, as the general arrangement of their altars and furniture was not very different from that of the chancel itself.
