THE CHURCH 11 



The chancel, according to Hutchins, is chiefly a 

 modern building, with no pretensions to architectural 

 propriety. On the south side is a small doorway under 

 an ogee arch, a perpendicular piscina with an arch of 

 a similar character ; and a very fine arch, which forms 

 part of the hagioscope leading into the Glanville Chapel. 

 In the north wall was a semicircular arch, which might 

 perhaps have enclosed an ancient monument. The 

 chancel was entirely rebuilt in 1876 by the rector and 

 patron, the Rev. J. S. Woodman, with the help of his 

 friends and Queen Anne's Bounty. 



The nave of the church, which had become very 

 dilapidated, was restored in 1876 by E. R. Dale, Esq., 

 and the parishioners, with the help of a few friends ; 

 under the able supervision of G. R. Crickmay, Esq., 

 of Weymouth, who was the architect for the entire 

 restoration of the church. The principal entrance is 

 from a neat tiled porch, which abuts against the 

 west end of the Glanville Chapel. Close to the 

 door on the north side, which is disused, is a 

 curious niche ; but for what purpose intended is 

 not known. In the window on the north side were 

 the arms of Newburgh : bendy of seven or and azure, 

 in a border engrailed gules. On the opposite side, 

 between the porch and the doorway of the chantry is 

 a place in the wall for a stoup. The font, which has 

 been removed from the chantry to the south side of 

 the nave, has an octagonal bowl of rough Purbeck 

 marble, with two shallow-pointed arches on each face ;
