_ shield standing on a twisted shaft, the whole being about 8ft. high. 
The shield has the Goddard arms and the date 1704 on both faces, 
as a crest a cherub’s head and wings flanked by scrolls. This is 
said to have been the support to the west gallery. 
The pulpit is an oak one of Elizabethan work on a modern base, 
_ and around the lower part are mitred pieces of inserted carving 
from a fifteenth century screen—this might have been placed here

- 1562. I gather from some old MS. notes by Mr. R. Mullings, of 
_ Cirencester, in the Devizes Museum, that there are six bells, cast 
by Abraham Rudhall in 1709. These notes (which were presumably 
_ made before the Church was restored) go on to say :—‘ The pulpit 
and manor pew are curious specimens of carving of the seventeenth 
century. At the west end a few of the open seats remain.” 
“There is a west gallery.” Parts of the pew have been made up 
into an interesting altar, together with other bits of carving from 
the screen. —

that the churchwardens were authorized to sell it, and this seems 
to have been done and a new one purchased.

of the latter two additions it probably remains about the same size 
as it was in the later Norman period. 
_ Here we have the very common condition of the earliest work 
being on the north side with the south side following shortly after. 
think this may be taken to indicate that the existing structure 
takes the place of an earlier one, and that the old gave way to 
to the new by degrees, the north side first. That this was the case
