2l6 HI 1C CHURCH Of WOOTTON GLANVlLLfc. 



of the porch is of much the same character as that at Long 

 Burton (which dates from about 1450), but it is smaller. Traces 

 of red colour may be seen on the soffit of the slab above the 

 nave doorway ; and the indication of a holy water stoup appears 

 in the wall near the font. The tower arch resembles that at 

 Holnest, but is not so lofty. 



In the north wall of the nave are re-inserted certain portions 

 of the old doorway and window (for there was only one window 

 in the former wall). There is a curious opening in the east side 

 of the archway of the north door. This was found in the old 

 wall, and was reinstated in the new, but I cannot tell whether it 

 was accurately reproduced. A wall painting, no longer in 

 existence, representing the miraculous draught of fishes, so I am 

 informed, came to light on the removal of the whitewash which 

 covered the north wall, aad another painting over the gallery 

 exhibiting the devil armed with a flail. 



The chancel, which was pulled down at the restoration, was 

 about three feet longer than the present one. A round-headed 

 east window (cf. the former chancel at Holwell) had been inserted 

 in the i8th century, and fragments of its predecessor were found 

 built up in the wall. In the north wall was discovered an 

 Easter sepulchre, which had been mutilated and bricked up. 

 Its fragments may be seen in a rockery in the Rectory garden. 

 The former chancel arch, which was of no value, gave place to 

 what you now see. The two ancient features which remain are 

 the piscina with its ogee head, and the head of the priest's door- 

 way, and seem to suggest a former Decorated chancel. 



I may briefly call attention to the mural monuments. Two, 

 to John Every and Barbara, Lady Henley, remain in the 

 chapel, others have been removed to the tower, where they are 

 rapidly perishing. The inscriptions may be found in Hutchins' 

 History. 



The pulpit and lectern are excellent pieces of turnery, by 

 Mr. E. R. Dale, A.I.E.E. 



The parish register dates from 1546, and when it opens a 

 scion of the Glanvilles appears in the marriage of Walter
