NOTES ON DORSET " RESTORED " CHURCHES. 121 



The church was completely restored in 1866, when the 

 north aisle and vestry were added. The then existing chantry 

 chapel on north of nave was thrown into the new aisle and 

 a ribbed Ham-Stone arch, probably originally over the stone 

 effigy, was^used for the opening into the new vestry from 

 chancel. The piscina was renovated and inserted in the sill 

 of nave window. A doorway in west wall of tower was 

 built up ; also a Priest's door in south wall of chancel. The 

 nave was roofed with lead and the church floor raised in level 

 several inches. The Jacobean Holy Table was removed, 

 and is now used as a table in the Village Inn. The Jacobean 

 pulpit was taken down and the panels now line the east wall 

 of the Sanctuary. The church was reseated in 1866. There 

 were a stone chancel screen and many consecration crosses. 

 Scraps of old glass have been placed in the easternmost window 

 of south side of chancel ; on one fragment is a rebus of John 

 Sparrow, Vicar of Sherborne, A.D. 1419. (A sparrow yoked 

 to a harrow). 



Three of the five bells are ancient.
