162 Notes on the Churches 
north is to Elizabeth, Lady Armand,’ who died about 1490, and 
whose son, Richard, founded this chapel: this brass—as well as the 
one on the floor to her grandson, John Baynton, *who died in 1516, 
is richly decorated with coloured enamel. The Purbeck marble 
tomb on the south, to Sir Richard Baynton and family,’ (bearing 
date 1578) presents an interesting combination of Gothic and 
Renaissance detail—the former style lingers in the base moulding, 
the cusped panels, and the cornice. It will be noticed that benches 
are carried along the south side under the windows of both chapel 
and transept, and that the original oak screen divides the one from 
the other. 
The upper part of the tower, and the spire, with the quaint square 
stair-turret, are also good Perpendicular work, and I notice that the 
form of the weather-cock is identical with that of the one of the 
same period which was unearthed and set up on its former perch at 
Bishops Cannings, and of which I gave a drawing in a former 
number of the Wiltshire Archaeological Magazine.* The rood-loft 
(as at Bishops Cannings and other places) probably had an outside 
staircase, and the doorway through the wall can still be traced. 
There are interesting monuments bearing date 1610 and 1618 in 
the north wall of nave, and also part of a richly-carved fifteenth 
century capital built in. The font is of a nondescript type. 
Cuurca or S. Syriac. Lacock. 
Some members of the party had the privilege of hearing this 
Church described by Mr. C. H. Talbot, who has devoted so much 
time to the study of the many archeological treasures at Lacock, 
but in the absence of any full report of his address I venture to 
print the notes I had previously made. 
This—unlike Calne and Bromham—is a cruciform Church without — 
central tower, and it has no work earlier than the fourteenth century.
