sponcl respectively in design to that of the two small windows 

 opposite in the north wall, otherwise the arrangement of the 

 tracery has in no two windows been alike. 



Internally a mucli more correct idea of the Church can be 

 formed now than was possible before the carrying out of the 

 recent excavations. Entering at the west end, the plinth or 

 lowest stone of the west respond or half pier of the Arcade is 

 found remaining attached to the foundation of the west wall. 

 The east respond, attached to the west wall of the Chancel, 

 remains entire ; and in the floor, which is of pavement, are three 

 blanks where three pillars, no part of which now remains, liave 

 stood. The Arcade has been of four bays, its pillars shafted and 

 placed diagonally, the capital of the east respond being moulded 

 only, while that of the west respond, which has now been 

 recovered, is richly floriated ; its arches have been segmental, as 

 indicated by a small portion of the eastmost one remaining, and 

 it has extended across the front of the southern projection, whicli 

 is therefore not properly a Transept, but a side Chapel. The side 

 Chapel and the Aisle have been \^ulted over at a uniform 

 height, with groined and ribbed vaulting, and there has been an 

 apartment over the Chapel, probably a Domns Inclosi, lighted by 

 a small double window in the top of the gable, and approached 

 by a newel stair within a projection at the angle formed by the 

 Chapel and the Chancel. 



Upon the walls of the Aisle and side Ciiapel remain part of 

 the moulded ribs of the vaulting, supported on shafts with flori- 

 ated caps and sculptured corbels. A little of the vaulting itself 

 also remains, and it has been constructed of rag-work, that is, 

 small flat bedded stones, in this case half an inch to three inches 

 in thickness, and entirely unhewn, set in thick beds of mortar. 

 An etching by Storer, published in 1805, represents a portion of 

 the vaulting or vaulting ribs as continuing at that time to span 

 the Cliapel. 



The Chapel is provided with a Piscina in the south wall, 

 where the priest emptied the water in which he washed his liands ; 

 on its east wall is a carved image bracket ; and there is evident 

 provision for an altar in the circumstance that the sill of the 

 east window, before which it would stand, is at a higher level 

 than that of the south one. 



Separating the Nave from the Chancel is the Rood Screen, in 

 this instance of stone, and over it the Rood Loft and the Chancel
