a curious 17th century one with four scrolls, each terminating in a 
bird’s beak of rude form. 
A feature of importance was opened out during the restoration 
of 1893. In the south-east angle of the nave, southward of the 
chancel arch, is a straight joint with a roll mould of about 4in. 
diameter, extending to the height of 11ft. from the floor; both the 
espond of the south arcade and the jamb of the chancel arch are 
built against it. The theory which has recently been propounded 
-—that it is the newel of a stair-turret which led to the rood-loft— 
is not tenable after careful examination: this would involve some- 
thing approaching equality in the depth of the courses, which 
would correspond with the steps, whereas there are not two of 
equal depth, and the stones vary from 6 to 13in. in depth of bed. 
Moreover, the surfaces of the stones are not disturbed to a sufficient 
extent to admit of the view that the steps had been cut away, 
leaving the newel, and the stairs would have projected northward 
beyond the jamb of the chancel arch: further it seems hardly 
likely that so much trouble would have been taken to do this 
without apparent reason., I consider the roll to be a quoin of work 
anterior to the arches. (By it in the south respond is a small 
late aumbry.) 
_ The late Vicar, the Rev. G. A. Crosslé, writes to me under date 
December 6th, 1899, as follows :—‘‘ Happening to be in Brussels 
last autumn I was much interested to find in the Church of Notre 
Dame des Victoires that there is in the Chancel an arcade exactly 
resembling that in Enford, flanked also on the north-east by a 
projecting octagonal sacristy, in every way resembling Enford. 
I thought you might be interested to know this, as I should 
certainly think there is some connection between the two if one 
could only trace it.” 
_ I have not been able to follow up this coincidence, but I should 
be glad to have fuller particulars of the Brussels features from 
_ anyone who is well acquainted with them.
