96 THE CHURCH OF NORBURY. 



after the best and most conservative fashion. Since then, 

 Mrs. H. A. Clowes has offered to defray the cost of re-leading 

 the old glass, which, being in an unsafe condition, is now 

 being re-set by Messrs. James Powell & Sons, of Whitefriars. 

 The total cost of the restoration of the Church was nearly 

 £7,000. 



During the repair of the chancel a most interesting discovery 

 was made. It became necessary, for due security, to take down 

 and rebuild the buttress on the north side between the first 

 and second bays from the east end in order to rebuild it. The 

 result was, that two of the large base stones were found to be 

 the shafts of beautifully ornamented pre-Xorman crosses. The 

 Society is fortunate in having the description of these crosses 

 from my friend, Mr. J. Romilly Allen, F.S.A., the great expert 

 on such matters.
