UPHILL CLD CHURCH. 11 
To the interior of the chancel and tower I was 
not able to obtain access, though furnished with 
keys by the courtesy ofthe incumbent, the Rev. J. 
Fisher, the arch between the nave and chancel 
being filled up, and the lock ofthe chancel being 
so out of repair that no exertion of mine was sufli- 
cient to turn the key. Speaking, however, from 
memory, I should say that there is little or nothing 
in them worthy of attention, though on this occa- 
sion I much regretted being unable to examine the 
interior splay of the square-headed window, which 
I have mentioned as existing in the north wall of 
the chancel.* 
I have thus attempted to give a sketch of what I 
believe to be a most interesting relic of ancient 
architecture. IfI should be the means of drawing 
the attention of more competent antiquaries to these 
venerable walls, my object will have been gained. 
These walls now totter to their fall; the house 
in which so many generations have offered up 
prayers and praises to the Most High, is now only 
used for funerals. Another winter or two and the 
roof will be gone, and then the walls will soon 
crumble into dust, and the only link of connection 
between the ancient Uphill and the living world 
will be, that its weather-beaten tower will still serve 
asa land-mark for the navigation of the Bristol 
Channel. 
* ] have since ascertained that the internal splay has a semicircular head.
