_ most refined work was being done: there were doubtless good 
_ and bad workmen in all ages. The recess has an ogee cusped arch, 
the cusps diminishing in size towards the centre; this has the nail- | 
head ornament on a flat member and very rude conventionalized 
carving above. The pinnacles flanking the recess have equally 
badly-carved crockets ; the terminals of these and of the arch appear 
to be a seventeenth century restoration. 
The south porch is a fifteenth century addition and retains its 
original ‘roof: it has a newel staircase, but there are no indications 
of the exit doorway or of a room over the porch—the latter would 
have been impossible unless the roof was once higher than now. 
There are three rude sundials cut on the south face of the porch 
buttress. 
_ The nave clerestory and roof are of sixteenth ‘cee type; there 
are no cusps to the windows, the roof is of the cambered tie-beam 
form. 
The chancel and tower have been erected probably within the 
last fifty years, when the east and west arches of the nave were 
copied from the old arcades. The roof of the south aisle was, I 
believe, renewed six or seven years ago. 
The font is modern, but Gough! speaks of one of circa 1280, 
which would correspond with the date at which I have put the 
re-building of the Church. 
_ There is an interesting painted wood monument in the north 
_ aisle to “ William Lacy, alias Hedges, of Kingsdown,” dated 1645; 
~ also an alabaster one, dated 1649, to “ Catharine Hedges, alias 
Lacey de Kingsdowne. A marble tablet to Rev. Mr. Wallinger 
Goodinge, 1787, and a brass to Catherine PN eats of Myth 
(Gloucestershire), 1649. 
_ There is no evidence of a provision for bells in the original 
_ Church—it is not improbable that a bell-cot stood over the east 
wall of the Nave, and has disappeared with the other external 
Teatures. 
It may be of interest to add that Walter Rodbourn, or de Merton,
