26 Notes on the Churches 
The nave arcades are well designed and the archway into the 
chapel is similar to them ; the capitals of both are surmounted by 
a pretty carved cresting. The roof and the inner arches of the 
clerestory windows are modern. The stairs to the rood loft have 
been removed, but the doorways remain, and a puzzling appearance 
is given to the upper one by building a piece of the window tracery 
across it. For some reason nearly all the original window tracery 
of this Church has been taken out, and a stack of it, covered with 
ivy, exists in the churchyard : I presume the new work which takes 
its place has been copied from the old. A piscina in the north aisle 
indicates the existence of an altar in front of the archway opening 
into the chapel, and there is a squint looking into the chancel, but 
nol towards the high altar—the same may be said of the one on the 
south side. There was an altar also in the south aisle, the piscina 
of which remains, and there is a recessed altar-tomb in the south 
wall coeval with the Church. There are the remains of, apparently, 
a stoup built in here. A piece of fresco, with a kneeling female 
figure (probably representing the Annunciation) has been carefully 
preserved on the south wall, and there is a pretty little niche with 
colour near it remaining 7m sitw further westward. Both aisles 
retain their original roofs of trussed-rafter form, but it will be 
observed that the windows of the south are richer than those of the 
north ; those at the east and west ends have pointed heads, and the 
tracery of the square-headed side windows is more varied. At the 
west end are the remains of a doorway which, probably, previously 
led to a staircase for access to the roof, which was closed by the 
addition of the tower, 
The archway into the tower is of the same panelled kind as those 
we saw at North Bradley, and the lower stage is vaulted in stone. 
The staircase doorway is unusually good. 
The chancel has been much altered, and the two-bay arcade 
between it and the chapel is apparently new. The piscina and one 
window in the south wall are original work, but the other and the 
east window are new. 
The side windows of the chapel have been less interfered with 
than any others in the Church, but the east window here also is new.
