By the Rev. Canon J. E. Jackson, F.S.A. -iOl 



not inappropriately match with the name of Bayntun {s.c, Bay-in- 

 tun) : and there was a leading county family of that name, long 

 settled, first at Falstone, in South Wilts, afterwards at Bromham, 

 not far from Edingdon, but of their connexion with the Monastery 

 no evidence has been met with. Under the canopy against the wall 

 there is a blank space which may have been filled with an inscription. 

 In the quatrefoils below is the rebus ]\ist mentioned. In the mould- 

 ing above the quatrefoil is the same rebus, and another in which 

 the branch or sprig seems to spring out of some animal. On the 

 tun or barrel at the feet of the Q^gj are, at one end I. B. ; at the 

 other a triangle. In small niches on each side are little figures : St. 

 Peter with a key in one; St. Paul with a sword in the other. Some 

 lettering on the ledge appears to be only the scratching of idlers. 

 In the corner behind this tomb is a winding stair leading to the 

 belfry. 



The North Transept 

 is thought to have been a Lady Chapel. In the west corner is a 

 closed-up doorway which once opened upon the cloister. That this 

 ran along the north side of the Church is shown by the space of 

 blank wall and the height of the windows from the ground, as at 

 Malmesbury Abbey. An altar, a piscina, niche, and some coloured 

 glass remain. There are memorials to " Mary, daughter of Martin 

 and Anamoriah Taylor, i3th September, 1769." " S.P. [Sarah Price] 

 1794." " Bridgeat, wife of John Gardiner, gent., of Tinhead, 1689." 



North Aisle. 



Against the wall is a consecration cross, viz., a cross within a 

 circle : the four quarters formed by the cross being painted blue and 

 red alternately. There are ten of these crosses outside the Church, 

 two north, three south, two west, and two on east wall inside.* 



Some of the Longs of Baynton are interred in this aisle.^ Will-
