Description: | The drawing was made by Richard McDonald Lucas, a Southampton architect with an office in Bargate Chambers. The roofs were then in a bad state of repair. Restoration work was undertaken between 1896 and 1898 under the superintendence of J B Colson.
The drawing shows the intricate wooden vaulting under the tower and the flat ceilings put in the transepts about 1827. It comes from The Building News, 14 October 1892.
