Dial markings, masons' marks, votive and pilgrims' signs occur on 

 the walls and pillars of most Surrey churches, of which Alfold, West 

 Horsley, Newdigate, Shere and Stoke D'Abernon may be cited. 



Of ancient glass there are remains in the following churches, 

 but much, like the Jesse window at Cranley, has disappeared within 

 living memory : — 



Betchworth ; Great Bookham ; Banstead ; Bramley ; Buckland ; Byfleet ; Charlwood ; Chertsey ; 

 Compton ; West Clandon ; Croydon, Whitgift Chapel, 1596-9; Crowhurst; Coulsdon ; Effing-

 etc., fifteenth century) ; Nutfield (fifteenth century) ; Ockham (fifteenth century and cinque 

 cento Flemish) ; Oxted (east window, early fourteenth century, very fine) ; Pirford (east wrindow,

 teenth, and fifteenth centuries) ; Stoke D'Abernon (heraldic glass and quarries in screen of 

 Norbury Chapel, and other fragments, fifteenth century and later); Warlingham (four- 

 teenth century fragments in head of east vnndow, and late fifteenth century canopy work in 

 north window of nave) ; Wimbledon (fourteenth century, a figure of St. George, and seventeenth 

 century heraldic glass) ; Witley (fifteenth century shields of arms, etc.) ; Woodmansterne (figure of 

 St. Paul and other fragments, fifteenth century) ; and Worplesdon (Tudor roses in east window). 



Great quantities of plain quarry work must have been turned 

 out by the glass manufactory of Chiddingfold from the thirteenth to 

 the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, and some proportion of this 

 must survive in the less restored churches. A few diamond quarries of 

 a thick tinted glass in Warlingham church were probably thirteenth 

 century. They were preserved and re-leaded at the restoration. Besides 

 these there have been a number of flowered quarries, ranging in date 

 between the fourteenth and the sixteenth centuries, of which hardly any 

 now remain. 



St. Mary Overie still retains a few mediaeval tiles, and an interesting 

 piece of mosaic-like pavement, formed of small red cubes, in its south 

 quire aisle, which there is reason to believe was part of the floor of the
