aised to give their full
effect to the proportions of the great western Tower.

7. The rebuilding of the fallen Transept (north-west) is a
work much to be desired, perhaps hardly to be anticipated,
yet surely not to be despaired of.

8. The completion of the pinnacles and parapet of the
Octagon. This is very important to give full effect to the
central portion of the Cathedral, which suffers unduly in
estimation from the original design being so imperfectly
carried out.

9. Exterior repairs of Trinity Church, formerly the Lady
Chapel, which is still under the charge of the Capitular
body. The cost of restoring the interior decoration of this
elaborate specimen of art, if it be deemed desirable, may be
left at present out of calculation.

A generous offer has been made for the interior decoration of the
Lantern and vault of the Octagon, which there is every reason to hope
will be executed at no distant time.
