this exception, by the way, there is no buttress about the building), 

 and that the later windows are evidently inserted in an older wall — 

 different mortar being used; there is also a piece of an early window 

 sill between these ; moreover there exists on the inside of this wall 

 some thirteenth century colour decoration, which indicates a wall 

 older than the windows which now appear. The chancel archway 

 is the most remarkable of the Norman features. It is only 3ft. Tin. 

 wide between the jambs, whilst it is 7ft. lOin. high from the nave 

 floor to the springing of the arch, where there is a moulded impost. 

 A filleted roll serves as shafts on the west angles of the jambs, and 

 it is carried on as a plain roll round the arch, the soflit of which is 

 otherwise plain ; the arch is slightly pointed and the label has the 

 billet mould. The north and south doorways of the nave are of the 

 same date — the latter is a plain one, but the former has shafts with 

 carved capitals and moulded bases at the outer angles of the jambs 

 and^a filleted roll carried round the arch and outside label. 



The west wall of the nave was evidently re-built when the two- 

 light window was inserted circa 1370 — the dat€ to which I assign 

 the re-modelling and additions above referred to. A two-light 

 window was at the same time inserted in the south wall near the 

 pulpit, and this retains its old stanchion bars with arrow-head 

 terminals. The gabled bell-turret of the same date over the east wall 

 of the nave is a beautiful feature— it consists of two arched bays 

 with quatrefoil openings in the gables over them ; the muUion on 

 each side between the arches is in the form of a buttress ; a similar 

 feature occurs on each side against the solid end. A modern iron 

 cross and cock have taken the place of the ancient terminal, which 

 was probably of stone, and only one of the two bells remains. 



The north chapel opens from the nave by means of a plain slightly 

 pointed arch with the chamfers carried down the jambs. There is 

 a two-light pointed window in the north gabled wall with heavy 

 cusped inner arch ; the west window is a two-light square-headed 

 one. A nice piscina with semi-octagonal bowl and a shelf is formed 

 in the respond of the arch, and a rude niche (which looks very late) 

 built up of old stones occurs in the east wall. 



The south porch of about the same date(cjrca 1370) has the capitals
