70 Report of the Meetings for 1894. 



remains have been lent to the Society of Antiquaries, and 

 are now in the Museum at Newcastle, but drawings of them 

 are in the vestry. Part of a shaft of one of these crosses, 

 with the square maze-like pattern, can be seen worked into 

 the north wall of the chaucel. The other remains, those of 

 the Norman and Transitional Churches, have been made into 

 a wall for the vestry, in order to preserve them. 



The vestry may have been a priest's chamber. There are 

 signs of a ioor four feet above the present one ; an arch, 

 which might have been a small door, was found in the north 

 wall, rather below the place where a window has now been 

 put in ; there was a considerable space below, where the 

 boiler for heating the Church has been placed, and the whole 

 bay was walled off from the Church. 



The remains of old glass have been carefully replaced. In 

 the east window of the north aisle are fragments of the 

 Annunciation. Possibly a niche there denotes the place for 

 an image of the Virgin, and there are marks on the east 

 pillar which point to a Chapel. 



In another window is the rayed rose of the Ogles, and 

 remains of canopy work. 



In one of the windows in the south aisle are remains of 

 the Crucifixion. The south-east bay was probably a Chapel 

 for the Barons of Bothal, for there is a piscina in the south- 

 east corner, and the bracket over the tomb is clearly not in 

 its original position. There was at one time no south aisle, 

 for it is evident that the easternmost pillar was originally 

 the end of the south wall. There is a squint or hagioscope, 

 the smallest known, which perhaps points to a sort of family 

 pew of the Barons, before the place was made into a Chapel. 

 It is on record that the widow of one of the last Barons of 

 Bothal founded a chantry at Bothal. It is possible that 

 this might have been the chantry they founded. 



The tomb is supposed to be that of Ealph, the third Lord 

 Ogle, and of his wife, a daughter of Sir Robert Gascoigne ; 

 the shield of arms and the style agree with the date ; he 

 died 1513. It is not in its right place. It had been very 

 rudely put together, and had not been altered. 



In the south-west corner of the chancel a carved capital 

 was discovered, though how it got there is a puzzle. A 

 flue for an old stove was found there. Near the same place
