that there was a Norman Church here, and the walls of the chancel 
are of that date; on the outside this is seen in the buttresses (into 
which the fifteenth century diagonal buttresses have been built) and 
in the string-courses; on the inside the most striking Norman 
features are the interlaced arcades on each side and the strings above 
them. A somewhat singular feature of this chancel is that it is 
considerably narrower at the east end. Norman masonry can also 
be traced in the aisles, the west walls of which are of that date 
with late thirteenth century windows inserted. These aisles were . 
raised, probably early in the sixteenth century, and a flatter roof 
put on, but the line of the early high-pitched roof is easily traced. 
The nave appears to have been built, without clerestory, early in the 
fourteenth century, and the arcades are of that date. The porch, 
north and south transepts, and north and south chapels may be 
attributed to the latter half of the fifteenth century, when, also, the 
: present windows were inserted in the chancel. The porch has a 
_ priest’s room over, with a window looking into the aisle, and a 
Biche over the door outside. There is also a niche in the south 
transept, where the modern archway has probably obliterated other 
interesting features. A built-up doorway is also traceable here, 
_ There was originally a central tower of late type, but this was 
removed by Mr. Wyatt (we may suppose that he had good reasen 
for it), and a new tower erected at the west end, into which the old 
work is incorporated in the upper stage. The second chapel between 
the transept and the south chapel was erected at the same time,
