120 MISCELLANEA. 



wall was built across the interior from east to west, obviously to 

 form a sacristry ; thereby partly concealing one of the jambs of the 

 Decorated window on the east, and another jamb of the lancet on 

 the west. This partition wall was carried up to the ridge tree of 

 the roof, and had a coping or weather table of its own, which may 

 still be seen in the weather moulding on the north side of the 

 tower. For access into the southern section or sacristry, a door- 

 way of Decorated character was inserted, which was evidently taken 

 from some other part of the building ; whilst on the chauntry 

 side, this partition wall carries a bracket for an image with leaf work 

 of the fifteenth century, showing the date of these alterations. 

 About the year 1600, the idea was conceived of raising the four 

 walls of this narrow vestry so as to form a tower, which was done, 

 and the present " brick-on-end "-shaped campanile was the result. 

 The original integrity of the transept without a vestry or tower is 

 proved by the continuity of the stonecourses of the lower portions 

 of the tower with the contiguous work to the north of it.
