chancel arch are still in good preservation ; on the south wall are 
the mouldings of two small Norman windows, and the pillars of a 
south door are standing, though the door is blocked up. ‘There 
is Early English work in the chancel, where a double piscina, set 
cornerwise, proclaims its date to be of 1280 or thereabouts. 
Another cornerwise piscina is in the south transept ; the font, of 
unusual shape, is Norman, the squints are peculiar, there are | 
remains of mural painting on the chancel arch, there is the effigy

is a little Perpendicular work, some windows have been inserted, 
and the walls and screen have been tampered with. The outside

the gurgoyles being especially worthy of notice. 
There was a cross at the junction of the three roads to Yeovil,

preserved, having been found embedded in a garden wall. It 
bears the rood on one side, and the Virgin enthroned on the 
other, the ends are also sculptured. This XIII. Century relic was 
in the house of a lady at Stoke, but there was not time to inquire

Returning to Yeovil, the party travelled by the 5.26 train to

Kings, Henry and Edward, with the great seals still attached, and 
a curious paper relating to the Church written in cumbrous old
