Description: "The Lady Chapel is at the east end of the Retrochoir. The first bay probably dates from dates from 1220-30s. There are three times twin arches with detached shafts forming a kind of wall passage. They are normally pointed, but the super arch repeats their outer curvature and sets a big more-than-semicircle on top so as to make the whole a trefoil top. Moreover, in the tympanum above are two trefoils and one large quatrefoil in blank plate tracery." --http://astoft.co.uk/wincathint.htm#Early
