with the exception of a small roll on the west edge of the latter, 
but there is evidence of an inner order having been cut away to 
widen the opening. This arch ean hardly be later than 1130. 
The chancel itself dates from about 1180, and possesses a fine 
corbel-table under the eaves on north and south, and three windows 
of this period. Only one of the latter is intact—the westernmost 
on the north side; this is a lancet about 7in. wide and 4ft. high, 
slightly pointed, with rebate and splay outside; inside the jambs 
are splayed to a width of 4ft. 6in, and this splay is carried over the 
arch, but it is semicircular and does not closely follow the pointed 
head. The two windows in the south wall have the same inner 
"splay and arch, but the jambs were set back and the openings 
widened to lft. 7in. and new ogee cusped heads inserted in the 
14th century (both are now partly blocked with brickwork). The

window on the north of the sanctuary is a two-light square-headed 
one of 16th century date, with label outside. The lights have 
four-centred heads without cusps. In the south wall there is a 
eoeval piscina with trefoil arch and bowl intact—the shelf has been 
removed. Close to the east wall on north and south are corbels 
apparently intended to support a beam. 
The walls of the nave are only slightly later than the chancel 
(cir. 1200), and retain one of the original lancets, 8in. wide, on the 
south side, westward of the door. This has only a small splay 
outside (no rebate), the inside splay, like that of the chancel 
windows, widens out to 4ft. 6in., but the arch is slightly pointed. 
There were only two windows in the south wall originally; the 
eastern one retains its inner splay and arch, but outside it has 
been cut away and a square window inserted. Between this 
and the east wall of the nave a window of somewhat unusual 
type was inserted in the 14th century, probably to give 
more light to the side altar here. Above this window, near the 
angle, isa corbel which doubtless supported the rood-loft-beam ; the 
one on the north has been lost in forming the modern transept 
arch. The south doorway is of the same period ; it is a beautiful 
feature—the arch, of one order, consisting of a bold roll-member 
earried on attached jamb shafts with conventional carving in the
