LULLINGTON CHURCH. 87 
Somerset ; but the succeeding prior ceded it to the king, 
who, in the thirty-second year of his reign, (1541) granted 
it to the earl of Hertford, who the next year (1542) sold 
it, with the Longleat estate, to Sir John Thynne, from 
whom it descended to the late Thomas, Marquis of Bath, 
and has now passed into the hands of the proprietor of 
the neighbouring park of Orchardleigh, — Cox, Esq. The 
present ineumbent is the Rev. W. M. H. Williams. 
The CHURCH which we are describing, is one of those 
puzzling and curious buildings which have the tower be- 
tween the nave and the chancel, without any visible signs 
oftransepts. Its ground plan consists of a Nave, a Tower, 
and a Chancel, with an aisle, transept or chantry, (as 
you may please to call it,) on the South side, with a South 
porch adjoining the chantry, west of it; the chantry and 
porch together filling up the whole length of the nave on 
the south side. The length of the nave, is twenty-five 
feet six inches ; the tower, twelve feet three inches ; the 
chancel, seventeen feet ten inches, altogether making the 
length from the inside east, to the inside west wall, fifty- 
five feet seven inches. The width of the nave, is seven- 
teen feet two inches ; that of the chancel, is rather greater, 
seventeen feet ten inches. The width under the tower, is 
twelve feet ; the chapelry or aisle is nearly square, viz., 
fourteen feet, by fourteen feet three inches. 
The whole ofthe CHANCEL (Ibegin at the East, follow- 
ing the Camden scheme in my description,) appears to have 
been added during the Decorated period ; probably not 
much later than 1320, A.D. The Eastern window is of 
three lights; the centre light is pointed, the other two 
with eircular heads, and each with three foliations. On 
the inside, the head of the window arch is finished off very 
prettily, with a moulding which loses itself in the wall
