Fig. 10. Nordportal og Gavl af Sakristi. — Northern entrance and gable of sacristy. Endelig har det været meget vanskeligt for Murerne at holde Skifterne vandrette; saaledes falder Skifterne i alle Korsarme« ne fra Skibet og udefter, hvilket ikke kan skyldes Sætninger paa Grund af Taarnenes Tryk, da alle lodrette Kanter f. Eks. i Vinduerne staar nogenlunde i Lod og ikke vinkelret paa Skif« terne; langt snarere skyldes det, at man, som almindeligt i vore middelalderlige Bygninger, har fulgt Terrainets Fald. — Ved nøjere at undersøge Murværket, især inde i Kirken, kan man se at østre Korsarm og selve Midtpartiet er opført eller paabegyndt først, idet der i nordre og søndre Korsarme ses Fortandinger, der viser at nordre og søndre Taarn er tilbyg« gede sidst; endvidere kan det ses, at man er begyndt fra Øst og har fortsat mod Vest, hvor den søndre Mur i vestre Kors« arm og Taarn atter har været paabegyndt før den nordre Mur; Forhold, der giver Oplysning om mulige Ændringer i den op« rindelige Byggeplan, som der senere skal gøres Rede for un« der Beskrivelsen af Portalerne og det Ydre. Under Gulvet i det søndre Taarn fandtes Fundamentet til Taarnets indre Si« der at være afsat forkert, idet Vinklerne ikke har været nøj« agtigt udmaalt, da man fra Vest begyndte paa Fundamentet, se Pl. I; ogsaa dette Forhold viser, at søndre Taarn først er paabegyndt senere end selve Korsarmens vestre og østre Mur. Af Portalerne er den i søndre Korsarms Østside den bedst bevarede, idet hele Buepartiet med Leddelinger er det oprinde« lige (Fig. 9); forinden sidste Restaurering stod Portalen tilmuret transepts we find toothing, proving that the north and south towers were added last. We find, moreover, that work was begun from the east and continued toward the west, where again the south wall of the west transept and tower were begun before the north wall. This faet throws light on pos« sible changes in the original plan of building to which we will return later in our account of the entrances and the exterior. Beneath the floor in the south tower the foundation of the inner sides of the tower was discovered to have been marked off wrong, as the angles were not exactly measured when the foundations were begun from the west, see Pl. I. This indicates that the south tower was begun later than the east and west walls of the transept. Øf the entrances the one in the east side of the south trans« ept is best preserved, the entire arch with its mouldings is ori« ginal (Fig. 9). Prior to the last restoration the entrance was walled up without the granite casement and its tympanum, and with the brick profiles of the sides extending to the ground (the lower part, however, of modern monk bricks,—from 1870). On removing all the newer walls, remains of the original lower stones of the casement were found. They were hard lime« stone of a bluish gray color. In the walls were very clear im« prints of the jambs of the casement, which were in one piece, of the stones of the tympanum and of the granite socles un« der the brick profiles of the sides 3.
