out of its original position. The south wall has been re-built above 
the plinth level, and a doorway of 18th century type inserted, 
having semi-circular arch with key-stone outside (the old label and 
base stones being re-used) and a wood lintel inside. 
This stump of the tower is now terminated by a hipped tiled 
roof. 
Another feature which has been partially swept away was a 
shallow transept or chapel where the modern annexe stands, and a 
buttress remaining on the east side shows it to have been of 14th 
century date. 
About sixty years ago this was replaced by the present erection 
—a kind of transept 36ft. deep by 16ft. wide, of very poor design, 
with three windows on each side, a gallery at the north end, and 
a doorway under in it. An ugly arch forms the communication 
between it and the nave.

This is one of the most valuable of the interesting group of 
early Churches along the valley of the Avon, but unfortunately 
it suffered considerable injury from the fall of the spire oc- 
easioned by a lightning stroke on the 2nd of March, 1817, and 
still greater injury both to the historical features of the Church 
- and the effect of its interior has resulted from the manner in which 
a large sum of money was expended in the repairs necessitated by 
this accident: although the date 1825 occurs on the clerestory 
these works do not appear to have been completed until 1831. 
The Church consists of a narrow nave with north and south 
arcades of four bays of round arches with square soffits, and square 
short piers with angle shafts—the work of the early part of the 
12th century; over these there is an unusually high clerestory 
carrying the walls 18ft. above the soffit of the arcade and making 
the height of the nave nearly twice its internal width. The north 
side of the clerestory is a plain unpierced wall, which exists in 
practically the same condition as when it was erected in the 14th
