Transept Piers, Ely Cathedral.]

The nave piers are of alternating forms. The one is founded on the

circular column, but has not only the shafted pilaster at the back, as

those in the transepts, but two shafts, to carry an extra arch-order, in

front, and a group of three running up to the roof (Fig. 262). The other

form of pier is like that at Winchester, with the addition of an extra

order, and has the triple shaft running up to the roof, as that last

described (Fig. 263).
