side of the Church is a series of Norman Corbels, with 

 grotesque heads, but with no Corbel table or parapet. The 

 roof at the time of our visit was covered with pantiles, which 

 slightly overhung the walls. There is also a mutilated gro- 

 tesque animal on the Corbel or kneeler of the north-west 

 gable coping, probably placed there when the Church was 

 rebuilt or repaired in modern times. 



The internal width of the Western portion of the Church is 

 18 feet 9 inches. The eastern portion of the Church has 

 disappeared, nothing remaining but the foundations. 



The most interesting relic of Norman times, however, is the 

 fine old Norman Font, now very properly removed to the 

 modern Church. It is formed out of a solid block of hard stone, 

 whose greatest dimensions are 2 feet 6 inches square, by 3 

 feet 8 inches high. It has a splayed plinth about 18 inches 

 high, and at the angles above are three-quarter shafts, with 

 base and cushion caps. Between the angle shafts are formed 

 panels on each face, carved with a sunk star-like ornament, 

 forming a diaper. The panel on the South side is formed of six 

 of these star-like sunk ornaments, the upper pair having small 

 bosses at the intersection of the lateral rays. The panel on 

 the east side has three, the upper one being the full width 

 of the panel, with small circular bosses at the intersection of 

 all the rays. The noi'th panel has the lower half perfectly 

 plain ; the upper portion is formed into a star with a large 

 circular plane centre. On the west face the sunk ornament 

 is confined within a circle in the upper part, and all the face 

 edges of the ornament are segments of circles, and there are 

 bosses at the intersections of the rays. The lower part has 

 an oblong star divided diagonally into four, forming a cross 

 in the centre. 



Easington (All Saints). 



A new Church was built here some years ago, and in 

 clearing away the old structure considerable portions of a 

 highly ornamental Norman Chancel Arch were found, and these 

 have been built into the upper stage of the tower. There are 

 three shafts with carved caps. The Arch is richly ornamented 

 with the beak-head, double cone, and the pellet and other 

 mouldings. 



HiNDERWELL (St. HiLDA). 



In renovating this Church last year (1895), a Norman cap 

 in a mutilated condition was found. It probably belonged to 

 a Norman Chancel Ai-ch or to a doorway. It is known that 

 a Chancel Arch existed previous to the re-building.
