bases, and the eastern one springing from a corbel on the east side, 

 whilst on the west side the jamb is flush with the inner order of the 

 arch), each also has its separate piscina with shelf — the piscina of 

 the west chapel being the richer. In the north wall is a window to 

 each bay — the eastern being a three-light pointed one — with label 

 on outside, each light has a trefoiled head, the outer ones are narrow 

 — only 6^ in. wide; the other window in the same wall is of three 

 lights, with square head, but it is probably coeval — there is no 

 indication of its having been inserted. The east wall is in a line 

 with that of the chancel, and there is no dividing buttress, but the 

 existence of some of the north-east quoins of the chancel show that 

 the walls of the latter are earlier. The chapel may be put at circa 

 1290. The east window and gable over are fifteenth century work 

 and the north door is modern. The roof of the chapel is Elizabethan 

 in feeling. 



There is a somewhat unusual amount of fourteenth century work 

 in the Church. The north aisle was re-built soon after 1350, 

 although traces of the earlier work exist at the north-west angle ; 

 the middle one of the three north windows exhibits very remarkable 

 tracery with semi-circular head to each light. The west window is 

 a Perpendicular insertion of about 1425. At the east end is a group 

 of features of special interest : over the early arch opening into the 

 chapel is a beautiful reredos of three bays enclosed within a panel 

 with flat pointed head ; in the centre is a vesica with symbols of 

 the Evangelists carved in the four spandrils ; each of the side bays 

 is a canopied niche; the whole is very elaborate, with carved paterae 

 in the mouldings, and the vesica is richly cusped ; each of the three 

 bays has a corbel for a figure. This appears to have been the reredos 

 of a rood-loft altar, for the loft only appears to have existed here — • 

 the staircase starts immediately in front of the arch and the exit 

 door is in the aisle only — none being on the nave side. On the 

 outside of the north wall is a small square-headed window, now 

 blocked up, which was probably inserted to give light to this altar. 



The south aisle was re-built about twenty to thirty years later and 

 the two side windows of two lights each and the doorway belong 

 to this period ; the east window is an insertion circa 1425. Both
