Arches, Tresco Abbey Gardens, 1998
From the listed building entry: "Chamfered arch of 2 orders to possible former crossing arch and smaller arch to ritual epistle side of nave"
Link . From the Scheduled Monument entry: "The south transept crossing has a broad pointed arch also with a stepped and chamfered moulding which uses two types of imported freestone: the vertical sides in a dark stone, the arch in a pale yellow limestone; each side also rests on a base of white limestone. Close to the west of the south transept crossing is a smaller doorway that originally linked the nave with the cloisters. The doorway has a slightly squatter pointed arch with a similar moulding profile and range of imported freestones as the transept crossings. Its adjacent wall fabric includes a narrow drip mouling of thin slabs over the apex and eastern curve of the doorway's arch moulding"
Link . In addition, the gardens are grade I listed
