having vertical inner jambs and pointed arches: neither of these 
has ever been glazed. The belfry stage has a two-light square- 
headed window without arch or cusping, in each face. The tower 
is terminated by an embattled parapet, the embrasures of which 
have no coping, supported by moulded corbel table and chamfered 
cornice. The roof had a kind of lantern of 17th century date, of 
of wood framing weather-boarded on the outside, but it was too far 
decayed to admit of being preserved. The tower, like many other 
early examples, has no stair turret.

the 14th century with ogee arch which once had cusps; the other

century coffin slab with incised cross—evidently not intended for 
its present position, as it is longer than the recess. 
Against the south wall of the chancel is the monument of - 
Edward Yonge, his wife, and fourteen children: it consists of a 
stone altar tomb of simple Elizabethan character, with an engraved 
brass at the back which is well described by Mr. Kite.1 There 
are no sculptured effigies. 
The trefoil head of a 13th century stoup has been opened out on 
the east side of the north doorway ; the bowl has been destroyed. 
Much of the original internal plastering of the nave has been 
destroyed in the works of repair and re-building of dilapidated 
masonry which have been carried out from time to time, but on
