Plinths were provided for sculpture and pedestals for lighting. The excavations have revealed five ancient plinths or pedestals and over 100 beautiful sculptures. Sculptured figures may be set in niches or placed on plinths. The aisles were separated from the nave by colonnades of twelve columns set on plinths. The roof is further adorned with five massive urns raised on brick plinths. The columns were constructed atop tall, paneled brick plinths that were almost square. The north and south walls are fitted with wooden benches fixed over stone plinths. The candlesticks are placed on painted wood plinths. Between the niches are plinths supporting smaller portrait sculptures. Where the piers were on the river bank the trestles rested on low masonry plinths. Four marble plinths form the basis of the columns that support the baldachin. Placed on high plinths, this series of statues were acroterial. The buildings were made of wood founded over tiled plinths. The columns stand on bases (plinths or socles), decorated on three sides. The two southern plinths carry sculptures of Henry Havelock and Charles James Napier.
