Note 19 — THE CASTLE OF CHEPSTOW, Monmouthshire.

Reading edition

Of the supposed chapel, Mr. Williams says—“This is not in the usual style of such a building: the windows, arches, and other decorated parts were extremely rich, and in the finest Gothic taste. There are, however, several traces of plain Saxon arches filled up in the wall [arches of construction], which indicate a higher antiquity than the general decorations of the castle.”
