 Ripley. — The chancel, windows, vaulting shafts and string courses — very rich work, c. 1 150. 

 Shere. — Central tower, south door, etc., c. 1 160. 

 SouTHWARK, St. Mary Overie. — Parts of north wall of north aisle.

 Walton-on-Thames. — Arcade with scalloped capitals, c. 1 160. 

 Wistrr. — Chancel and nave with doors and windows, c. 1 150. 



The cut plaster edgings round the windows and the coaeval painting on their splays at 

 Godalming deserve special mention as very rare survivals. The doors are in most cases richly 

 ornamented with zig-zag mouldings, and the billet and pellet mouldings also occur. The 

 south door of Shere church is remarkable for its richness, and is perhaps the best of this period 

 in the county. The scalloped capitals of doors and arcades are a noteworthy feature. 



The old church of Tooting, pulled down in 1832, boasted the unique distinction, so far 

 as Surrey is concerned, of a round tower of this period, built of flints and rubble.*

2 The carving is curiously similar to that of the nave arcade capitals in Bexhill church, Sussex, of 

 the same approximate date (r. 1160), and may well be by the same hand. 



I ^ e°°d instance of the eariy use of the dog-tooth moulding and of a pear-shaped moulding peculiar 

 to this period. The capitals are formed out of a grotesque head with pointed ears and distended mouth 

 swallowing the shaft— a feature also characteristic of the period.
