382 Notes on the Churches 
Adjoining the part of the screen may be seen the roughly-cut 
poppy-head of one of the chancel stalls, and another (better carved) 
is in the pew I before mentioned. There are many of the original 
benches in the Church, probably nearly enough to seat the nave, so 
that I believe this little Church could be almost entirely re-fitted 
with its old fifteenth century oak-work. It will be noticed, also, 
that there are parts of the front framing in the large pews on the 
north side of the chancel, and in the one in the aisle ; also that the 
panelled sinking in the bench ends is, like that of the aisle arches, 
without cusping. 
It is probable that the original roof of the nave remains above 
the plaster ceiling, for the waggon-head form is hardly that of 
such a roof as would have been put on in more recent times. 
The chancel has its priest’s door on the south side. 
The font is the original one, but sad/y scraped, and on a new 
plinth. It is a very nice example of the font of the period and of 
good size. I am glad that the other stonework of the Church has 
not suffered the fate of this. 
There are bits of old glass in the old south window of the nave, 
and amongst the devices are the initials R. H. coupled by a cord; 
the Tudor flower and a cock—the latter probably heraldic. 
There are some pieces of Jacobean pewing, and also some of oak- 
work still later—all well worth taking care of. The rest of the 
pews, also the pulpit and desk are of deal. 
Probably at the end of the seventeenth or early in the eighteenth 
century the addition to the north of the chancel was erected—a 
vestry of two stories, both being open to the chancel, and the upper 
being intended for use as a gallery. The east window and others I 
have referred to were probably added at the same time. 
It will be seen that the east gable of the nave has been made up 
in a temporary manner, and slated, since the removal of the chancel 
arch and the wall over it.
