The aisles are a huge part of the build and take up most of its space. There's a few variations of the aisle but I'm focusing on the main structure such as the pillars, piers, vaulting and how each section of aisles joins onto the next with ribbed laying and decorative pillars.
I noticed a clear difference in decorative pillars on the pier and the standard columns. The piers are in fact structurally necessary and are square but covered with small pillars to conceal the sqaure block up thus fitting in better with the aesthetics of the building.
The aisle walls can vary, some with blind arcading as seen above, other with alters, tombs and doors leading outside or into a extension to the main building body. The aisles aside the choir area also had walls, creating a divide between the area's.
