having the unusual peculiarity of the piercings being carried back 
to the outside of the external splay of the jambs. Southward of 
_ this on the inside is a corbel cleverly carved to represent a monkey 
in a reclining attitude with the right leg resting on the knee of 
_ the left, and the left arm supporting the head of a bearded man— 
the animal is wearing a kind of mitre. The piscina below this has 
a curiously-cusped arch and rich filleted-roll moulding, and it 
might easily be taken as being earlier than the windows, but it is 
probably a survival of earlier details often found in Transitional 
work. High up in the west wall is a small two-light window, each 
light being only about 20in. high and 4in. wide, and rebated on 
_ the outside. 
The crypt below this was approached from the outside by a 
_ semi-circular-headed door in the east wall, about 2ft. from that of 
the chancel, and lighted by a two-light window in the west wall, 
somewhat similar to the one in the chapel over it, but cusped; and 
by a double piercing 2in. wide in a stone ldin. x 12im. in the 
north wall. 
_ The tower arch, which is of fourteenth century type, having one 
order of a large quarter-round mould and another of the cavetto, 
carried down to the floor without stops, would seem to point to an 
earlier tower than the present having existed here. The present 
tower is a Perpendicular one of two stages, with diagonal buttresses 
terminating just above the dividing string-course. There is a 
second string-course between the west doorway and the window, 
and this is continued at the sides—an unusual arrangement. The 
west window is a three-light one, with pronounced “ Perpendicular”’ 
tracery, and there is a two-light square-headed window in each face 
The hole in the floor over the lower stage, for the admission of bells, 
is curiously formed of curved timbers. The slab of a fine brass 
rhich lies outside the west door deserves a better position ; the brass 
disappeared, but it evidently represented a mail-clad knight 
lanked with pinnacles and surmounted by a canopy.
