string course wlilch extends from buttress to buttress ; 

 these are in tlie form of octagonal turrets. The cornice 

 moulding of the building, is peculiarly bold and good, 

 and passes round these turrets, whlch are raised above it 

 and terniinate with an embattled parapet, under which is 

 a course of quatrefoils, each side of the octagon being 

 occupied by one quatrefoil within a square ; that part of 

 the turret which is above the cornice moulding, projects 

 slightly beyond the lower walls. On each side of the 

 window was a canopied niche, and there appears to have 

 been a similar one above ; this and that on the south have 

 been totally obliterated ; in that on the north an episcopal 

 fignre may still be traced. We now enter the cloister ; 

 the entrance to it from the church is now the door of 

 the farm house, into Avhich the whole nave and north aisle, 

 as far as the tower, have been converted. The nave, 

 with the central tower, a fine Perpendicular structure 

 of somewhat earlier date than the rest of the church, 

 consists of three bays having large windows, (now built 

 up) of a character similar to that in the west front. On 

 the south side of the tower is a staircase turret, terminating 

 in a pyramidal pinuacle, with a finial and parapet of Tudor 

 flowers, an arrangement very common in this neighbour- 

 hood. On the north side is an aisle of three bays, (having 

 au entrance to the church in that at the western extremity,) 

 extendin<T as far as the eastern side of the tower, into 

 Avhich it opened by a splendid arch, the effect of which, 

 to"-ether with that opening to the nave, must have been 

 very fine. The whole of the remaining part of the church, 

 with the exception of the tower is occupied by the 

 present dwelling-liouse. I am unable to say anything as to 

 the piers and areade between the nave and aisle. The 

 fan traccry of the tower is very beautifuL- The chancel or
