modern re-building. Near the east end of this aisle, inside, is a 

 coeval piscina, also a squint of large size, cut through the deep 

 eastern respond of the arcade — the direction of this squint is west- 

 ward, and it can only have been for use between nave and aisle. (A 

 modern similar squint has been cut through the respond on the north 

 side ) The arch between the south aisle and transept is a modern 

 one, but old bases have been re-used. 



The north aisle has features distinct from the rest, the doorway is 

 richer and the two single lancets westward of it with the inner 

 splays carried round the arch, the moulded inner arch and angle 

 shafts, are of a different type, the moulded string below the sills was 

 formerly carried across the west end on the inside, and on the outside 

 the sill string and the label are similarly returned, although the 

 latter has been cut away for the insertion of the later west window. 

 The eastern part of the north aisle appears to have been re-modelled 

 late in the fourteenth century, when it was probably dedicated as a 

 special chantry — it is called the Widhill aisle and belongs to Lord 

 Radnor as lord of the manor of that name, and it was formerly screened 

 off from the rest. Two windows were then inserted in the side wall 

 (the earlier outside string-course having been lowered for the purpose), 

 the piece of wall between was re-built and the altar-tomb erected, 

 A west window of five lights was inserted at the same time and the 

 gable over re-built. The tomb is recessed into the wall and has 

 flanking pinnacles and crocketted canopy, the arch of which is 

 cusped and enriched with the ball- flower ornament; the front has 

 quatrefoiled panels. The efiigy, until quite recently, lay in the 

 churchyard. Tradition states it to have been taken from this tomb, 

 and it certainly appears to correspond to it in dimensions and'— so far 

 as can be judged from its mutilated appearance — in style. The 

 chancel was also re-modelled at about this time {circa 1350 — 70), 

 the lower part of the east wall with the string under the window 

 and the priests' door on the north remain of the thirteenth century 

 work, but the rest was re-built with the exception of the two angle 

 buttresses, which have obviously been added to the earlier wall and 

 may be a century later — probably coeval with the chapel. The three- 

 light windows on the north and south of the sanctuary are similar
