PARISH AND CHURCH Of PIDDLETRENTHIDE. 



NORTH-EAST CHAPEL. 



has joined it on to the ancient North-East Chapel, shown in the 

 accompanying sketch. In this sketch we may note work of four 

 different periods. 



The latest addition to the building as it now stands was 

 presumably the north aisle, which is a continuation of the 

 chancel-chapel for four bays westward. Its design and con- 

 struction are poorer than the work of the south aisle, although 

 the arches are more symmetrical than those of this period 

 generally were e.g., in the neighbouring church of Cerne. 



Now, who were the pious builders who lavished all this costly 

 work upon All Hallows' Church ? In default of any definite 

 information, one is inclined to attribute these chantries and 

 aisles to the benefactions of the Collier family, who for many 

 hundreds of years held the manor, as tenants at first of the Abbot 

 of Hyde and afterwards of Winchester College.
