Questions

Some minor q's...

It was first built as a vaulted, aisleless church from plastered rubble masonry. - is this referring to the original building, or the 1718 build.
I understand the present (pictured) building, with the lower "sides" in different style added later.
at the sides ...of the nave?
In German that would be Seitenschiff (literally: side-nave), - not sure in English.
Understood. Do you know if "purely ornamental" means they weren't stained? Ceoil (talk)
The helmet of the west tower - what does "helmet" refer to in this context..should it be something like Rhenish helm.
Helm seems right, - in German it's the same for what a warrior has on his head, and a church tower.

I wish I could draw that. Don't have the math words for a circle and something drawn in it with straight lines, 5 of those in almost a semi-circle but that would be 6, to close the choir. I looked at church architecture, and especially choir (architecture), but found no similar floor plan. - Thank you! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:33, 1 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at this plan, it looks like 3/6 close to me. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:38, 1 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
There must be a term for this...but would leave the claim hidden for now until we dig that term out. Article is perfectly nice without. Ceoil (talk) 20:44, 1 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

re "has five straight lines..." - these are radial points, but still not sure how to put this in the article. Ceoil (talk) 21:56, 1 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
