PIERS AND ARCHES. Chancel Arches.—With such rare exceptions as in Ewerby, Lincolnshire, Raundsand Higliam Ferrars, Northamptonshire, and some few other Chm-ches, it was anuniversal practice to mark the termination of the nave and the commencement of theChancel, by an arch thrown across from one wall to the other. In early NormanBuildings this separation is occasionally indicated by a triplet of arches, an arrangementvery frequently met with in the village Churches of Sussex, as in Piecombe Church, andOvingdean, near Brighton. Though sometimes occurring of extreme simplicity, as inKeymer Church, Sussex, the Chancel arch of this period was in general highly enriched;those in the Churches of Adel and Bubwith, in Yorkshire, are beautiful examples.
