Warden Fendant’s Ledge

First Appearance and Context

During a winding of the great clock at Provener within the Mynster, the narrator refers to “the Warden Fendant’s ledge,” noting it as a high place that could be reached by climbing the stair that spirals up the Tenners’ corner of the building. The reference establishes it as a recognized feature in the upper works of the Mynster.

Structure and Features

Only limited details are provided in-text. The ledge is described implicitly as a high, exposed perch accessible via a spiral stair rising in the southwest corner used by the Tenners. Its exact dimensions, enclosure (if any), and parapets are not described. The name connects it to the upper levels where oversight and outward watch are situated, but no specific fittings or fixtures are mentioned.

Relationships and Functions

The ledge’s name associates it with the office of the Warden Fendant, whose responsibilities include outward watch from the Mynster’s heights. Within that context, the ledge likely serves as, or adjoins, a vantage in the upper structure of the Mynster. The text so far does not document formal procedures tied to the ledge.

Current Status

The ledge is treated as an extant and reachable feature, accessible by the stair spiraling up the Tenners’ corner of the Mynster. No restrictions, alterations, or damages have been described to date.

Summary:
