o£ Norman shafts re-used at the springing o£ the outer archway ; 

 there are no shafts and the later jamb mouldings stop under these 

 capitals. 



The chancel has two north and two south (the latter differing 

 slightly in detail) two-light square-headed Perpendicular windows, 

 and in the sill of the one on the south of the sanctuary a square 

 piscina is inserted, the bowl somewhat rudely carved with three 

 fishes, this carving was evidently returned on the sides before the 

 bowl occupied its present position ; the east window is a pointed one 

 of two lights with semi-circular inner arch, on the north of this 

 exists part of a heavy chamfered string-course, 6in. thick, which 

 was doubtless carried across under the previous Norman window and 

 formed a ledge some Sin. wide. With the exception of this north 

 part of the east wall both it and the south wall were re-built at the 

 date of the windows. A priests' door was at the same time built in 

 the south wall and between this and the sanctuary window is a 

 square aumbry which once had a shutter. 



Between the two north windows is a broad low-arched recess, some 

 8ft. wide, 1ft. 9in. high to the springing, and lO^in. into the wall, 

 the arch is richly cusped and the sill is some 4ft from the present 

 floor. This must have been let into the Norman wall. It is difficult 

 to assign any use to it excepting as an Easter sepulchre, or aumbry. 



The roofs, which were put on throughout when the Church was 

 altered and enlarged (circa 1370), are well preserved. Those to the 

 nave and chapel are of the trussed-rafter type with cavetto mould 

 on principal ribs, purlins and ridge-piece. That to the chancel is a 

 plastered barrel vault divided into panels by oak ribs having carved 

 bosses at the intersections. This was probably intended to receive 

 colour. 



Between the jambs of the chancel arch are a pair of late Decorated 

 doors — doubtless part of the rood-screen which once came in front 

 of the arch : the staircase to the rood-loft has been removed, but 

 traces can be seen in the south wall of the nave, the doorway having 

 a wooden arch. Parts of coeval stall ends are made up in the prayer 

 desk now in the nave. The pulpit with sounding board is of the 

 time of Queen Anne. Over the chancel arch are the royal arms of
