Norman door-way. This door-way is now built up; 
but the jambs, which appear to have been con- 
structed of plain square ashler work, without shafts 
or ornament, with the exception of a very rude sort 
of capital, are very evident, and support one large 
flat stone, which fills up the tympanum of the arch. 
In the centre of this tympanum is a rudely described 
circle, containing a shallow carving of a cross of 
early character. On each side of this circle is a 
smaller one,—that on the east divided by radiating 
lines and probably intended for a dial; that on the 
west was either plain, or its contents have been 
obliterated by time. Round this tympanum is a 
very rude drip-stone, the peculiarity of which is 
that it does not form the segment of a circle, but is 
so placed that each stone meets the next at a very 
obtuse angle ; but whether this was the original 
intention’or, as seems more probable, the masonry 
has at some time been displaced by violence, I have 
no means of deciding. Beyond this, to the east, is a 
late perpendicular window with a semicircular head, 
but I see’no reason to suppose that it is of earlier 
date than its mouldings and tracery indicate. 
The interior of the nave presents but little wor- 
thy of observation, with the exception of the 
arrangement for combining the entrance to a stone 
pulpit, the supporting bracket of which only re- 
mains, with the staircase leading to the roodloft, 
which has also disappeared; and a tolerable font 
now placed in a niche at the west end.
