of a former curate, whose name and disinterested labours are still 

 remembered gratefully in the parish. 



The Chancel is as yet wholly unfurnished. There is much need 

 of money to provide a good yet simple altar-table, and other fittings 

 for the chancel. It would be very desirable also to proceed with 

 further repairs to the roofs and walls, and especially to restore at all 

 events the lower portion of the west front, which has been so sadly 

 mutilated by the insertion of modern windows. 



At least £500 more is needed to do all that is desirable. About 

 twenty-five copies are left of a privately-printed account of this little 

 Church, and the Treasurer will have pleasure in forwarding one to 

 any subscriber oi one gtdnea or upwards.

 of Wilts, there is a Saxon Church, or Chapel, of great antiquity, which for 

 many years was disused as a place of religious worship, the chancel-arch 

 having been walled-up, the chancel and nave having been treated as separate 

 buildings and belonging to different owners, the chancel having been con- 

 verted into a cottage, and the nave into a charity school, so that the original
