of which on the south, forming the Black Prince's chantry, are
enclosed in the portion devoted to the use of the French
congregation. Beyond the transepts, the two eastern hays of the
central alley of the crypt are enclosed on three sides by graceful
screenwork of stone, to form the chapel of " Our Lady Undercroft.'"
