THE CHURCH OF NORRURY. 95 



There is some interesting glass in the south-east chapel, 

 though a good deal of it proves, on examination, to be the 

 more imitative smear work of 1842. In the centre of the three- 

 light east window is St. Anne teaching the Blessed Virgin to 

 read, with a small crucifix above them; to the left is St. Wini- 

 fred ; and to the right St. Scytha or Osyth.* In the base of 

 this window are the arms of Fitzherbert impaling Bothe, with 

 the figures of eight kneeling boys on one side, and five girls 

 kneeling behind a lady on the other. The centre light of the 

 south Avindow has a figure of Sancius Biirlok abbas ; to the left 

 is St. John Baptist ; and to the right St. Anthony. At the ba.se 

 of this window are a squire and two sons kneeling, and a lady 

 and two daughters in the same attitude. These windows are 

 obviously in commemoration of the two wives and two families of 

 Nicholas Fitzherbert. 



In the west window of the nave are some quarries of glass, 

 with the initials N. A. and a kneeling female figure, intended 

 for St. Mary Magdalen. As late as 1823 there were represen- 

 tations of the three Marys in this window. Here, also, are 

 seven coats-of-arms of Fitzherbert alliances. 



Towards the end of 1898 an absolutely necessary reparation 

 of the nave of the church was begun and carried to a most 

 successful issue by Messrs. Naylor & Sale, at the expense of 

 the patron, S. W. Clowes, Esq., and his family. The roofs 

 of nave and aisles were in a dangerous condition and the 

 \valls cracking in many places. The church was re-opened 

 early in 1900. 



Meanwhile, the chancel roof began to give way, and the walls 

 to fail in places. The rector was successful in obtaining sub- 

 stantial help from the Bishop of the diocese and from general 

 contributions, and a contract was signed with the same architects 

 on January 21st, 1901, for the substantial repair of the chancel. 

 In T902 this work, with liberal help from the present patron, 

 Capt. H. A. Clowes, was also carried to a successful issue

 a mistake corrected in the addenda to vol. iv.
