ten feet by twelve; and fifteen or sixteen high; arched with free…stone;

and supported by small circular columns of the same; the

capitals and arches Saxon。  It has an east window; and on each

side in the wall; about four feet from the ground; a stone basin

with a hole and iron pipe to convey the water into or through

the wall。  This chapel is one of the buttresses; but no sign of it

without; for even the window; though large within; is only a

long narrow loop…hole; scarcely to be seen without。  On the left

side of this chapel is a small oratory; eight by six in the thickness

of the wall; with a niche in the wall; and enlightened by a

like loop…hole。  The fourth stair from the ground; ten feet west

from the chapel door; leads to the top of the tower through the

thickness of the wall; which at top is but three yards。  Each

story is about fifteen feet high; so that the tower will be seventy…five

feet from the ground。  The inside forms a circle; whose

diameter may be about twelve  feet。 The well at the bottom of

the dungeon is piled with stones。''…Gough's _Edition Of Camden's

Britannia_。  Second Edition; vol。 iii。 p。 267。
