278 Notes on the Churches 
expected from its dependent position, and consists of nave, chancel, 
and vestry: as the two latter are new, the account of the old chancel 
given in Canon Jones’ paper has a special value. It was of singular 
dimensions—only 11ft. wide, and 20ft. long; the east window 
consisted of two trefoil-headed lights. From this description we 
may conclude that the chancel was—as Canon Jones states—coeval 
with the nave. The latter only, however, remains to claim our 
attention. The character of the work leads me to suppose that it 
is a little later than Canon Jones gives it; it may be put at between 
1370 and 1390. The west end has a reticulated window of four 
lights,with carved label terminals, flanked by buttresses. The existing 
bell turret is modern. There is a two-light square-headed window 
in the north wall, and a similar one opposite on the south side, the 
head of which has been lowered. There are also doorways of the 
same date opposite each other nearer to the west end; the one on 
the north has the corbel and pinnacles of a niche over it, that on 
the south retains its original wrought iron hinges with fleur-de-lis 
terminations. The nave has diagonal buttresses at the four angles, 
and the one at the north-west angle is of exceedingly rich and rare 
design—the upper part of it is treated with niches in the three faces 
with carved corbels and canopies, and at the two external and two 
internal angles are detached semi-octagonal turret-like pinnacles, 
with carved corbels starting at the same level as those of the niches, 
and having embattled cornices from behind which the figures of 
angels peep out ; the top of the buttress is finished with an ordinary 
weathering. It is probable from this feature, and from the north 
doorway having a niche for the figure of the patron saint, that 
the approach to the Church was formerly in this direction. The 
chancel arch is coeval with the rest of the work, and has a curious 
ball-moulding on the east face. The most unusual feature of a 
single-light window on each side in the east wall appears to 
have existed here until the new and larger chancel was built. These 
have been blocked up. 
The font is a Transition Norman one, from which we may conclude 
that a Church stood here at that period.
