forward to form the entrance. The church was again 

 restored in 1893. 



The building throughout is constructed of rubble 

 masonry with quoins at the angles. The roofs of both 

 chancel and nave are of flat pitch and covered with 

 lead overhanging at the eaves. The walls were raised 

 to their original heights in i 893, when the new roofs 

 were erected. The south chapel is under a wide gabled 

 modern slated roof, which is continued down on the 

 west side over the porch. All the windows are 

 modern, but those in the sides of the chancel are said 

 to reproduce the ancient designs. 



The chancel has a modern five-light pointed east 

 window with perpendicular tracery, but the north and 

 south windows are each of two lights, and, if repro- 



inserted close to the south-east angle of the chancel, 

 the piscina having probably been destroyed. In the 

 north wall is a recess with segmental moulded arch 

 and hood mould, which may have been used as an 

 Easter sepulchre. The opening contains a flat grave- 

 slab, now much weathered, with floreated cross and 

 chalice. The chancel arch is elliptical in form and 

 of a single square order the full thickness of the wall, 

 without hood moulds and plastered on the soffit. It 

 springs from chamfered imposts, which are carried 

 back along the wall on each side. The width of the 

 opening is 10 ft. The holes for the sill of a former 

 chancel screen remain in the jambs. The floor of 

 the chancel is flagged and level with that of the nave. 

 All the walls of the church are plastered internally.

ducing the older forms, are interesting examples of 

 early tracery. That on the north side consists of 

 two lancets with a circle in the head, and the other 

 has two trefoiled lights with a qu.itrefoil above. 

 Below the latter, which is near the west end of the 

 wall, is a built-up low-side window, the sill of which 

 is only i 2 in. above the present ground level. The 

 priest's doorway, which now forms the outer entrance 

 to the vestry or porch, has a semicircular moulded 

 arch dying out at the springing with a hood mould 

 terminating in carved heads, and with a larger head 

 at the crown. The jambs are chamfered. The 

 vestry, which is now used as a store cupboard, 

 measures internally only 7 ft. by 4 ft. 8 in., and has a 

 window on the east side. An ancient altar stone 

 discovered in 1893 is placed under the communion 

 table. The sedilia are of 15th-century date and 

 consist of three seats on the same level with ogee- 

 headed recesses under a square hood mould with 

 carved head terminations and flat trefoils in the 

 spandrels. The seats are separated by chamfered 

 mullions standing clear of the wall, and have been 



The nave has three windows on the north and a 

 single one high up in the wall '** at the west end of the 

 south side. Towards its eastern end the nave is 

 open to the chapel on the south side by a pointed 

 arch of two chamfered orders, the outer continued to 

 the ground and the inner springing from moulded 

 corbels supported by grotesque male and female heads. 

 The arch has no hood mould, and, like the rest of 

 the walling, is plastered and whitewashed. The 

 chapel is lighted on the south side by a modern 

 four-centred window of four lights with perpendicular 

 tracery. Part of a stone bracket remains at the south 

 end of the east wall. The south doorway, now the 

 entrance to the porch, has a semicircular arch of two 

 orders, with billeted hood mould inclosing a tym- 

 panum, across the face of which is carved a line of 

 bold cheveron ornament. The outer order is 

 moulded, and the inner is square and consists of 

 twelve plain voussoirs springing from angle shafts 

 with cushion capitals and moulded bases. The
