By C. E. Ponting, FSA. 279 
the sills of the two original lancets were found beneath the 
ends of the sill of the Perpendicular window. 
“The new ground-plan embraces a nave with north and south 
aisles, tower, and chancel. The south aisle is re-built of 
Norman character, and the doorway removed from the north 
wall,restored,and built in the south wall as the main entrance 
to the Church. The effect of the Norman arcade, which is 
composed of alternate courses of Bath and green Wiltshire 
stones, is very good, now that it is carefully cleansed and 
restored. Owing to the very singular position of the tower 
within the nave, a north arcade could not be erected to cor- 
respond with that on the south; I therefore determined upon 
carrying out the idea suggested by the Early English chancel, 
and accordingly arranged the new arcade in its present 
form, and also inserted a chancel arch of the same character. 
“The dedication of the Church being unknown, and Mr. Webb 
having expressed his desire that it should be re-dedicated to 
‘ All Saints,’ the building was consecrated by the Lord Bishop 
of Salisbury (Dr. Davison), to the service of Almighty God, 
and in honour of ‘ All Saints,’ on Saturday, the 1st November, 
1851.” 
The plan and two elevations are reproduced from Mr. Hugall’s 
drawings, and the sketch view from a previously existing drawing 
by an unknown hand. 
I am asked to supplement the foregoing description of the old 
_work by some observations of my own, made during a recent visit 
to the Church. A note in Aubrey (p. 357) states “This Church 
was blown down in the stormy weather about August 20th, 1693.” 
There is nothing now to indicate what part of the Church this 
refers to. 
The Norman south arcade (which, as Mr. Hugall states, remains 
in situ,) consists of three bays of fine semi-circular arches of two 
chamfered orders, the inner a broad one; these spring from 
eylindrical columns with moulded bases and square plinths 18in. 
high. All the capitals have circular abaci; one is carved with a 
simple scallop pattern, the rest are moulded only.
