NORTH TRANSEPT:

On the west wall, south bay:

18) panel with text Young men and maidens, old men and children, praise the Name of the Lord, for His Name only is excellent and His praise above heaven and earth.
[Probable area of the 18th century Sunday School] (Psalm 148 verses 1213) c.1701

19) under this is a black letter inscription with scroll work, visible on north side ...that it may be well with thee.
(Deuteronomy chapter 4 verse 40, or perhaps more likely chapter 6 verse 18, the second part of 20 below) c.1630–1640

On the west wall, north bay:

20) panel with text in foliated frame similar to those on the north wall You shall diligently keep the commandments of the Lord your God, and His testimonies, and His statutes, which He hath commanded thee.
(Deuteronomy chapter 6 verse 17) rewritten c.1700–1710

On the upper part of the north wall of the North Transept:

21) upper – painting of the Hebrew Jehovah with rays.

22/23) centre – two conjoined panels of The Ten Commandments in Roman lettering, with borders of bayleaf ornament each having round pedimental heads.

24) below – painting of the Royal Arms of Queen Anne after the Union with Scotland in 1707, in red and yellow, initials A(R) for Anna Regina and the motto

Semper Eadem (always the same).

25) under the Royal Arms there are traces of a black letter inscription of c.1630–1640

[probably the original position of The Ten Commandments].

On the lower part of the north wall of the North Transept:

Two panels, in foliated frames with cresting and swagornament in red, c.1700–1710:

26) western – on the blocked monks' night stair doorway For this is the love of God that we keep his Commandments.
(I John chapter 5 verse 3)

27) eastern – For not hearers of the Law are just before God, but doers of the Law shall be justified.
(Letter to the Romans chapter 2 verse 13)

The central plaque is an interesting account of the Abbey's first restoration.
