136 Notes on Churches in the Neighbourhood of Marlborough. 



and a few inches of the square jamb being retained and a similar 

 new part added, making this a pier with a flat pilaster between the 

 two demi-columns. On closer examination it will be seen that, 

 although the earlier capital was copied in the later part, the bases 

 are quite different, the latter being early Perpendicular in type. 

 The columns of both are cylindrical and the moulded capitals foUow 

 the same line. The arches of both parts are of two orders of 

 chamfers without labels. 



When this lengthening took place the north aisle was entirely 

 re-built, and extended one bay eastwards, forming a chapel with 

 an archway opening into the chancel, the latter having the angles 

 of the eastern jamb splayed off on the chancel side at about the 

 line of sight, for a better view of the high altar, and with the same 

 object the angle of the nave has been also splayed off — although 

 modern repair has to a great extent obliterated it. The aisle has 

 two three-light square-headed windows in the north wall and a 

 similar one in the east and west, diagonal buttresses at the angles 

 and intermediate ones dividing the bays. The thirteenth century 

 north door was here, as on the south, re-set in the re-building. 

 There is a piscina (with drain destroyed) in the east jamb of the 

 arch between chapel and chancel, and over it a squint, with wooden 

 lintels ; a corbel for a figure exists in the east jamb and another 

 lower down on the north side of the altar. Canon Jackson^ (quoting 

 from the Valor Eccles.) refers to this chapel as existing here in 1534, 

 William Elliott, cantarist, value 66s. 8rf., and as dedicated to the 

 Holy Trinity. He also states that there was also here an image of 

 the Trinity. 



When Mr. Kite visited the Church prior to 1860 the brass now 

 at the east end of the nave lay in the pavement of this chapel,* to 

 which it should be restored. It bears the inscription : —
