arch. There are six niches inside. We have no account of what 
figures were in any of them. One of the chancel niches would 
probably contain a figure of John the Baptist, the church being 
dedicated in the name of St. John the Baptist; and the niche 
near the piscina in the Lady Chapel would probably contain the 
figure of St. Mary. 
X. THE WINDOWS. 
All the windows contain the original form of the tracery, and 
most of them the actual old tracery. Where renewal of the 
tracery has been absolutely necessary, the greatest care has been 
exercised to have an exact copy of the old. Some amount of 
painted glass there no doubt was at the first ; where the old glass 
has gone to, or when removed, is not known. The elaborately 
painted eastern window of the chancel is the gift of Cecil G. 
Savile Foljambe, M.P., Cockglode, near Ollerton, at whose cost, 
also, the Foljambe brass in the chancel was renewed in 1875. 
XI. THE BELLS. 
They are six in number. They have all been re-cast except 
the fourth, which has the text, in Lombardic characters—‘‘ omen 
habeo Gabrielis misst de celis,” referring to the prediction about 
the Birth of John the Baptist. Some of the rest were re-cast 
about 200 years ago. In addition to the six hung in the tower, 
there is a small bell just lately removed to the new bell-turret 
over the chancel, from the west tower, where it has hung ina 
temporary way for several years past. It may have occupied, 
and been intended to occupy, the old bell-turret on the chancel 
arch. The small turret which preceded the present bell-turret 
never contained a bell, but seemed to have served only to con- 
tinue the tradition of the turret formerly existing there. The 
date upon the bell, curiously enough, is 1658, towards the end of 
Oliver Cromwell’s government. When hung in the west tower, 
it was used, we understand, to communicate from below with the 
ringers, and formerly to indicate the entrance of the clergyman. 
Of the original bell-turret over the chancel we have no record. 
The one we found never had a bell. In designing a new turret
