the north and south transepts, and in two windows of the north 
aisle, the latter having figures of bishops. 
Considerable remains of colour are still to be found in the Church. 
The most remarkable is a fresco over the doorway in the south wall 
of the south chapel. The whole of the walls here have traces of 
colouring, but the only subject now decipherable apparently repre- 
sents a scene not often the subject of medieval art, the raising of 
the daughter of Jairus. The recumbent female figure is fairly well 
preserved and well drawn ; she is lying on the ground with her feet 
towards the east, and her hands resting at her sides, clothed in a 
long garment, but exposing her head and neck, with flowing hair. 
The other figures are only visible by indistinct outlines, but there 
are sufficient to shew Our Lord, with a nimbus, standing by the 
side of the female flgure, with one hand outstretched over her, and 
seven attendants standing by. 
On the east wall of the south transept, over the archway and 
above the position of the altar, are other traces, the latter shewing 
an archway, but the subjects are not decipherable. There are 
indistinct traces on the walls of the north aisle, also on the columns 
of the south arcade, and on the east wall of the nave over the 
archway of the central tower. 
Over the doorway in the south aisle wall there are remains of 
some colouring of later date; a panel containing some inscription 
_now indistinct, enclosed by a border of Elizabethan character,

having a male figure on each side, the one on the west holding a rod. 
The remarkable colouring of a part of the south arcade is said to 
be a reproduction of ancient work, traces of which were found by 
the architect in the late restoration. 
The ruined steps, base, and stem of a churchyard cross remain by 
the side of the pathway opposite the door of the south chapel.

This Church, though more simple in plan than Purton, possesses 
a similar general symmetry of arrangement. 
1T have availed myself of two drawings of details of this Church, already 
prepared, which have been placed at my disposal.
