shafts in the jambs, and with a plain chamfered abacus. One 

 of the caps has the bowl cut into round mouldings, which 

 taper down to, and stop on the necking. Another is carved 

 with a scroll. Only the caps on one side of the arch had 

 been cleaned of the white-wash at the time of our visit. 



Thornaby (St. Luke). 

 The plan of this Church is probably much the same as in 

 Norman times, except that the Chancel is gone. The Avails are 

 about 3 feet 3 inches thick. The nave is 39 feet 4 inches long 

 and 18 feet wide. The Chancel, as above stated, has dis- 

 appeared, but the Norman Chancel Arch still remains. The 

 caps and mouldings are thickly covered with white-wash. 

 The windows have all been altered and enlarged. There are, 

 however, the heads of two of the original Norman windows, 

 built into the west gable. The opening to the Chancel was 

 6 feet 4 inches from shaft to shaft. There are two shafts to 

 the jambs, a semi-circular, or half shaft, and a smaller angle 

 shaft. The arch is of two orders, 10 and 9 inches deep 

 respectively, and there is a chamfered hood mould. It is 

 difficult to judge what the caps have been like, they are so 

 much covered up with white-wash. The abacus consists of 

 a square fillet and cavetto mould and is returned a few inches 

 beyond the hood mould. The height from the floor of nave 

 to the top of the abacus is 7 feet 7 J inches, and the arch rises 

 about 3 feet 9 inches. The jamb is chamfered on the side 

 which was next to the Chancel. 



The walls (particularly that on the north side) are very 

 crooked. 



LiVERTON (St. Michael). 



Externally this Church has a very barn-like appearance. 

 It is nearly all, comparatively speaking, modern — re-built, 

 apparently, about 70 or 80 years ago. The new building was, 

 however, evidently built on the old foundations, and, indeed, 

 parts of the old walls have been retained, the junction of the 

 old and new work being distinctly discernible, even in a 

 photograph. At the west end remain two of the old buttresses, 

 at the north and south angles respectively. These are, however, 

 later than Norman work. The lower part of the south wall 

 of the porch also appears to be old worK, and part of the 

 north wall of the Chancel. The plan of the building (pro- 

 bably much the same as in Norman times) consists of a porch 

 about 5 feet square, a nave 80 feet long by 16 feet 6 inches 

 wide, and a chancel 18 feet long by 14 feet wide. The walls
