of the chancel: the removal of the east wall and arch must, there- 
fore, have taken place before the chaneel roof was put on, and this 
appears to have been not later than the middle of the thirteenth 
century. 
The chancel—erected at the period I have just mentioned—comes 
next in date, and retains its original trussed rafter roof, which the 
Rector has just had opened out and repaired. One of the lancet 
windows exists intact, and the remains of the other three in the 
side walls can be seen : one of these has been cut into for the modern 
entrance to the vestry, and in the others we have what Mr. Hadow 
tells me has been regarded as an archeological crux—Mr. Parker 
having once pronounced them to be Sazon, I should have great 
hesitation in expressing an opinion contrary to so high an authority 
if I had not been afforded better opportunities of confirming that 
which I at first formed than Mr. Parker had, for I have been engaged 
in clearing off the modern plaster which eloaked the inside of 
the windows. I have little doubt that these curious looking 
openings have been inserted in the jambs of the thirteenth century 
windows. The east window is an insertion of late fourteenth 
century date. There are remains of a wooden aumbry in the east 
wall of the chancel, but no indications of a second altar in the 
Church. The piscina in the chancel is coeval with the walls— 
thirteenth century. The doorway into the nave was originally on 
the south side, but this has been done away with, and a modern 
transept and porch added, which now form the entrance. The bowl 
of the font is probably of thirteenth century date. The nave 
possesses a trussed-rafter roof, above the modern ceiling, of a slightly 
later type than that of the chancel, and there is a specially-framed 
truss to carry the bell-turret. It is a pity that these interesting 
features should be hidden. The rest of the Church has been 
ruined by modern alterations, and the windows of the nave have no 
claim to antiquity. It is noticeable that the Church is devoid of 
buttresses, if we except those erected within recent times. It may 
be of interest to mention that the walls of the chancel were ap- 
“parently left bare on the inside. On the modern plastering being 
removed recently, it was found that the face of the stones beneath
