page 192 note 1 Bull. Soc. Arch, et Hist, du Limousin, xxv, p. 381. A description of the church before the rebuilding mentions the two chapels ‘voûte sur voûte’ of St. Michael and St. John the Baptist (otherwise St. Stephen). The position of these chapels adjoining the church at the north-east angle of the cloister is further fixed by a record of the burial of Robert de Sarran, abbot of S. Pons, Thomiéres, ‘in capite claustri ante ostium capelle S. Stephani’, in 1220.

page 200 note 2 The building pulled down in 1857 extended also across the east end of St. Stephen's chapel. It was of two storeys and lit by two ranges of windows all square beaded and of late sixteenth or early seventeenth-century date, except two pointed windows probably of the thirteenth century and reset.

page 203 note 1 See fig. 2 and Bull. Mon. xlii, p. 252. The arrangement here is of course the reverse of that at Alberbury owing to the placing of the cloister on the opposite side of the church.
