lantern niche, pierced on the sides as well as the front, and with 
a richly moulded and traceried head and finial. Over this again 
on the nave gable is a square bell turret. 
The West porch is of later date than the nave, and is very 
plainly built, with a small outer door, and a window over the 
same. There are the remains of a holy water stoup on the South 
side of the door towards the road. 
The building presents many curious problems for the 
archeologist as well as for the architect, and the work done last 
year, in uncovering and revealing so many interesting features 
will no doubt attract the attention of some learned men who may 
be able to throw more light upon the subject of the original 
purposes and design of the building. 
The repairs have been carried out with the utmost care to 
preserve all the old work and wherever any part had to be re- 
built the old stones were replaced in the exact positions which 
they previously occupied. 
Some further repairs will probably be done this summer, and 
it is the intention of the owner to devote the building for the 
purposes of a mission room or chapel, and thus preserve the place 
from any further risk of damage or injury. 
There are interesting articles relating to the Chapel in the 
“Gentleman’s Magazine,” vol. ili., new series January to June, 
1835, p. 143, also in the “‘ Wiltshire Archxological and Natural 
History Magazine” vol. x., 1867, and in the “ Wiltshire 
Collections,” Aubrey and Jackson. 1862, p. 59.
