The Walls of the Side Ailes of the Nave are Surmounted by a Plain Parapet at About 27 feet from the ground, the Walls of the Nave rise About 33 feet higher, and the Parapet is pureed by embrasures, the Side Ailes are lighted by Pointed Windows in the decorated Style, divided by Mullions into two, three and four lights, The grand entrance to the Church is by Abbey Close, and is an elevation of much dignity, composed of a grand Central and two lateral compartments, Seperated, and flanked by buttresses, three of Which are terminated by recently erected Cones, a Similar one of which is on the east Side of the nave. The

On the east Gable of this Chapel is a large Window, of four trefoil headed lights, (though now blocked up) the Arches filled with rich tracery composed Chiefly of quatrefoils, Beneath this Window is a Series of Sculptured figures in tolerably bold relief, Apparently of ecclesiastics engaged in various Offices Prescribed by the Romish Church, Nearly in the Centre is the tomb of Queen Marjory Bruce, daughter of Robert the 1st, On the Slab Which is the top of the monument, projecting so as to form a kind of moulded Cornice Over the Sides and ends of the tomb, is the figure of a female in a recumbent Posture, With hands Closed in the Attitude of Prayer, the head resting on a Cushion, and Over the head an elegant Canopy, of that kind common over Gothic Niches, This Chapel being Vaulted and Containing nothing but this Monument, has an echo So remarkable as to have Obtained for it the name of the "Sounding Aisle," Instrumental or Vocal Music Performed in it has a grand effect from the Prolongation and Consequent Mingling of the notes, the noise and reverberation arising from the Sudden and forcible Shutting of the door after the entrance of a Visitor are often very Startling,_ Adjoining St Mirren's Chapel is a building which is Supposed to have been the Chapter House, where the Public buisiness of the Abbey was transacted etc_ On the West Side of the Cloister Court and Opposite to Saint Mirren's Chapel is a building which is Supposed to have been the Dormitory of
OS1/26/20/8						[Page] 8 [Continued] of the Monks, this building is now divided into two, and is Occupied as Places of Worship by Independents and Primitive Methodists, _ On the South Side of the Cloister Court and Opposite the Nave, is a large building Which is Supposed to have been the Refectory and Principal residence, Since the reformation this building and the One Supposed to have been the Chapter house, have been Successively the residence of Lord Paisley, The Earl of Abercorn and the Earl of Dundonald, but the latter having demolished the Ancient Gateway of the Abbey and feued off the immediately Adjoining grounds for building Purposes, the Appearance of the Place was entirely Changed, and the Place rendered unfit for family residence, It has Since that time been let out in Separate dwellings to tradesmen's families, _ Within what formed the Choir and in the extensive Graveyard Adjoining, Are many monumental Stones, With Curious inscriptions and which no doubt would be highly interesting to the Antiquarian, _ The Spacious buildings of this Monastery with its extensive Park, Orchards, Gardens etc Were Surrounded by a Magnificent Wall of Cut Stone, Said to be upwards of a Mile in Circumference, but the Said Park, Orchards and Gardens, are now the Site of the new part of the town of Paisley, having been feued Off for building Purposes in 1781 by the Proprietor, the Marquis of Abercorn; till that Period the magnificent Wall that enclosed the Orchards, Gardens etc remained nearly entire, but having been Sold to the feuars, most, if not all of the Stones have been Since used for building Purposes, _ "The Abbey of Paisley which is Situated on the eastern bank of the River Cart, was erected in 1160 during the Reign of Malcolm the IV by Walter, the Son of Allan, and first of the Stewarts, as Appears from the Original Charter of foundation, * * * Until 1219 the Monastery of Paisley was only ruled by a Prior, It was then constituted an Abbey by Pope Honorius, who, by a bull, that year Authorized the election of an Abbot, which Consequently rendered the establishment independent of its Parent Monastery of Wenlock; And
OS1/26/20/9						[Page] 9 [Continued] "this change was Sanctioned by Walter the Stewart, Son of the Founder, By a bull of Pope Benedict, the Abbots of Paisley Were entitled to Wear Mitre, ring, and other customary Pontificals, * * . Paisley thus became, within a very Short period, the most Opulent Monastery in the South of Scotland, except Kelso, and inferior to no other establishment north of the Forth, excepting the Royal foundations of Saint Andrew's, Dunfermline, and Aberbrothwickk, * * * Pope Boniface, in 1300, issued a bull Prohibiting all and Sundry from invading the [t]eutorial possessions of the Monastery, which however, proved of no avail, for they were frequently Pillaged by the English, who in 1307, ravaged the whole district, and burnt the Abbey, _ * * * * The Abbey of Paisley was much resorted to as a place of pilgrimage; and numerous devotees travelled thither to do Penance at the Shrine of Saint Mirren, the Patron Saint of the Place, which was not unfrequently loaded with gifts and Sacrafices, There were four places of Pilgrimage Appointed in Scotland, of Which Paisley was One, * * * In times of returning Peace, the Abbey of Paisley rose from its Ashes to a State of great Splendour and Magnificence, The Stately Abbey Church, existing at the reformation, Appears to have been built in the Reigns of James I and II, and was almost completed by its celebrated Abbot, Tarvis * * In the year 1484, during the reign of James III [third], the Abbey Church, and monastic buildings, With its large gardens, Orchards, were enclosed by a magnificent Wall of hewn Stone, About a mile in circuit, by George Shaw of Sauchie, Abbot of Paisley, * * * * Previous to Offering a description of the Abbey of Paisley, it may be Proper to Submit an Account of the uniform Situation and distribution of the religious establishments, during the prevalence of our ecclesiastical Architecture, as Such Will tend to convey a more accurate idea of the Probable nature, and Original extent and Accommodation of the Monastery, _ The Principal buildings of Our Abbey, were, 1st The Church, which consisted of a nave, or great Western aisle, Choir, Transept, and usually a large Chapel beyond the Choir, dedicated to the Blessed Virgin, With the Small Chapels, or Chantries adjoining the Side Aisles of the Choir, and Sometimes of the Nave, In fact the Abbey differed very little from the form of Our Cathedrals, Attached One Side of the Nave, commonly the Southern, Was Secondly the great Cloister, which had two entrances to the Church, at the eastern and Western ends of"
OS1/26/20/10						[Page] 10 [Continued] "of the Aisle of the Nave, for the greater Solemnity of Processions, and Over the Western Side of the Cloister, Was thirdly the Dormitory of the Monks, along room, divided into Separate Cells, each Containing a bed, With a Mat, Blanket, and Coverlet, also a desk and Stool for each Monk This appartment had a door which opened immediately into the Church, on Account of Midnight Offices of devotion, Fourthly Attached to the Side of the Cl[oister] Opposite to the Church, Was the Refectory, Where the monks dined,* * * Fifthly near the Refectory, under which were Cellars, was the "[lacutorium]" or Parlour, an Apartment answering to the Common room of a College, where, during the intervals of Prayer and Study, the monks sat and Conversed, Was the only room in which a Constant fire was Allowed in Winter, beyond it were the Kitchen and Offices, and immediately Adjoining, the Buttery and Lavatory Sixthly, on the eastern Side of the Cloister, and in the Centre, Stood the Chapter House, Where the Public buisiness of the Abbey was transacted, * * Such Were the general Arrangements of Our Ancient Monasteries, and So far as can be traced. the Abbey of Paisley may, with Some degree of truth, [to] conceived to have once boasted the extent, Arrangement, and Accommodation I Have Attempted to describe, * * * The Abbey Church of Paisley, now no longer a Church in the fields, Was built after the model of a Cathedral, in the form of a Cross and Surmounted by a lofty Steeple of the most exquisite Workmanship. The interior was Adorned With a number of Alters, dedicated to the Virgin, St Mirren, St Columba, St Ninian, St Nicholas, St Peter, St Katherine, and St Anne, at which Chaplains Officiated, * * * * In 1560 the Earl of Argyle,Lord Ruthven and Others, gave Orders for Purifying the Churches, by destroying all Sorts of Idolatry found Within and Without them, but the Order not [been] So Sufficiently executed as the zealots of reform required,a more Sweeping desolation was made by the Earls of Arran, Argyle, and Glencairn, [to] Whom was committed the demolition of all Abbey Churches, and all monuments of Idolatry in the West of Scotland, * * * It is unnecessary to add that this Church shared the Same fate with almost every Similar establishment in the Country, in the heat of the infuriated zeal which Characterized that Period, * * * * At this time, the lofty Steeple, and a great Part of the Church were demolished, [The] only Part of the fabric that was preserved is the Chancel or Nave, * * * The Abbey of Paisley was the family burial Place of the Stewarts before their accession to the throne, Allan, the Son of Walter, the founder, was interred in the Abbey in 1204, and Walter, Son and Successor

Was buried in this Monastery in March 1315 - 16, and a Sculptured monument was placed over her Sepulchre, Adorned With the Insignia of her family, What Were left of this monument, and the relics of Marjory Bruce, Were removed from the ruins of the Monastery About 1770, and placed on an Altertomb in the Small Gothic Chapel, now used by the Marquis of Abercorn for the Purpose of a family Mausoleum, * * * * The Grand West entrance to the Abbey, Consists of three Windows of good Size and exquisite design, With a Gothic door, Surmounted by a beautiful receding Arch, the upper Window is Slightly Pointed, and the two lower more Acutely. They are all raised on elegant Pillars, With rich intersecting Mullions, divided into a Variety of tracery, The Columns and Mouldings of the door Piece are exquisitely designed, and executed in a bold Style, having Sculptured ornaments, in the Shape of foliage, cut in relief, * * * * The nave of the Monastery, now the Abbey Church of Paisley, Still exhibits a degree of Spaciousness and elegance in Character With the Monastery of Which it formed a Part, and Presents a most interesting Surviving Specimen of Gothic Architecture, it is an edifice at once venerable for its antiquity, exceedingly Valued for the excellence of its Structure, and revered for the Sacred Purpose to which it is now appropriated, * * * The northern Prospect of the building exhibits the upper and lower Windows Still entue. The Choir is now levelled to Within a few feet of the ground. The North Transept, though ruinous, is more Perfect, and displays, in its large Proportioned Gothic Window, a most interesting relic of Monastic magnificence,This window, which is in the Pointed Style, is divided in the Centre by an exquisitely formed Slender Pillar, each division terminating at the top of the intersecting Arches With trefoil Mullions, and the Whole Surmounted With an Open quatrefoil, * * * The interior of the transept and ruins of the Choir, are approached by a breach under another Window in the West Corner of the transept, Above the transept, Stood an elegant Spire 161 feet in height, and on the eastern Side of the Cloister Court, the Private oratory of the Monks, * * * The remarkable degree of resonance once Possessed by this Small building, and to a Considerable extent Still retained, has given it the name of "the Sounding Aisle," Pennant, in his tour, who is quoted by other topographers gives the following apparently inflated description of the Place, " The echo is the finest in the World, When the end door, the only one it has, is gently shut"
