The chancel was erected at about the same time as the earlier 
parts of the aisles and nave arcades, the north and east walls remain 
of this work with two two-light windows and priest’s doorway in 
the former and piscina in the south wall ; the south wall was erected 
and the chancel arch and east window inserted without regard for 
the old string course, in 1862. The chancel apparently has its 
original roof above the plaster ceiling. 
The sacristy was added later in the fourteenth century, as indicated 
by the diagonal buttresses and the moulding of the label to the 
outer door ; though the cusped arch of the doorway might be taken 
as coeval with the chancel. Further evidence that it was an ad- 
dition is afforded by the way in which its east wall cuts into the 
window of the sanctuary. The corbels of the old roof remain: the 
north window is a later insertion. The squint in the chancel wall 
points in the direction of the high altar, and was probably 
intended for the use of the priest in watching the altar. 
The chancel was originally without buttresses. 
The font is a plain but bold Decorated one, and of good size. 
There is a rude sundial cut on the south-west buttress of the 
porch, which certainly does not indicate the hours of the day, but 
might have been cut to indicate the canonical hours. On the 
opposite side of the doorway is rudely cut one of those small old 
crosses, with a hole at each termination, which are often found on 
the face of old walls.

The principal part of this Church was erected during the “ Deco- 
rated” period ; the work is pure and rich, and at the same time it 
possesses great individuality ; there are features here which, so far 
-as I am aware, have no parallel in the county. A great deal might 
be said on this Church, but I will describe its various features as 
_ briefly as possible. 
There appears to be nothing here earlier than the beginning of 
_ the thirteenth century, but the font is of that period, and so also is 
the chancel arch ; so much of the latter has been made up in modern 
plaster-work that its appearance is misleading, but the sections of the
