NOTES ON DORSET " RESTORED " CHURCHES. 103 



of a monumental stone were found in the N. wall of the nave, 

 .showing, apparently, a pastoral staff (in relief) and figures 

 of the sun and moon. The insertion must have been made 

 in the 13th century. Consequently the stone would date 

 from an earlier church. These fragments are not now pre- 

 served. A north transept, which was probably a chapel, 

 with a squint, disappeared when the new N. aisle was 

 added in 1877.

The church was rebuilt in 1850 (Architect, Decimus Burton). 

 The old glass, which is fully described in D. F. C. Proceedings, 

 Vol. XII. pp. 67 70, was carefully preserved. It need only 

 be added that a few fragments of tracery from the windows 

 of the old church are to be found inserted in the walls of the 

 neighbouring farm house.

There was a general restoration of the church in 1865-66.

The church has had careful treatment in previous reports 

 of the D. F. C. Proceedings. A further restoration was carried 

 out in 1895, under the superintendence of Mr. C. E. Ponting,
