When the semicircular apse went out of use, it does not seem to have become at all usual to employ the polygonal form in this position. I am not aware of any examples where a polygonal apse occurs possessing anything like the import- ance of the semicircular ones at Romse}^ Smaller ones occur at Patrington, Yorkshire, and in Lincoln Cathedral. The apse much more usually grows into a chapel of considerable size, such as occur at Canterbury, Bristol, and many other large churches. In Chichester Cathedral, too, the apse attached to the north transept has given way to a large quadrangular chapel in the Lancet st3de. The most singular instance I know is at St. David's.*^ Here the end of each transept is occupied by three arches, forming very nearly a continuous arcade ; but of these, the inner pair " I greatly regret haviiig no drawing to illustrate this. A view will be given in the forthcoming fourth part ot the " History and Antiquities of St. David's." VOL. XI. U
