made shorter when the roof was sloped ; and in the 

 north transept a large triple window, shortened at the 

 time of a repair in 1721 ; when over it was opened a 

 round one of considerable size, which affords an agree- 

 able light, and renders that chantry the most cheerful 

 part of the edifice. 



The church and chancels have all coved roofs, ceiled 

 about the year 1683 ; before which they were open to 

 the tiles and shingles, showing the naked rafters, and 

 threatening the congregation with the fall of a spar, or 

 a blow from a piece of loose mortar. 



On the north wall of the chancel is fixed a large oval 

 white marble monument, with the following inscription ; 

 and at the foot of the wall, over the deceased, and 

 inscribed with his name, age, arms, and time of death, 

 lies a large slab of black marble :

 manner :
