A somewhat similararrangement occurs nearer home in the nave at Tournaiwhere the triforium arches are actually larger than thoseof the main arcade and are surmounted by a row of smallopenings forming a second triforium {v. sup. Fig. 72, p. 23).The nave at S. Etienne had originally, like those of allearly Norman churches, a wooden roof, but the aisleswere vaulted, and the triforium is covered with a quadrantbarrel vault like those of the Auvergne, with an under-lying transverse arch at each bay springing from anattached pilaster on the outer wall. The Norman tri-forium at Gloucester cathedral is covered with a similarhalf-barrel vault on transverse ribs.
