two orders of chamfers; the inner order, unusually wide, carried 

 on interesting moulded corbels following the line of the chamfer. 

 An unusual feature of the interior is the three-bay reredos on 

 each side of the chancel arch. The one on the north side retains 

 its fourteenth century ogee arches over the outer bays llin. wide 

 with small chamfer on the edges of arches and jambs ; the central 

 bay, 17in. wide, has modern arch of simple trefoil and mullioiis 

 with a larger chamfer. The reredos on the south side is a modern 

 copy of the one thus restored on the north, except that all the 

 chamfers are of the larger kind. I have no doubt that this was 

 an intentional variation l)y the architect, and that the reredos 

 on both sides had arches like the outer ones on the north. The 

 piscina for the north altar is in the east wall (the north jamb of 

 chancel arch) and that for the south in the south wall of the nave ; 

 both have trefoil arches and are coeval with the old work of the 

 reredos. 



Tfie timber tower takes the place of an old one ; it is supported at 

 one side on the west wall of the nave, and on the east by two old 

 posts consisting of trunks of trees I7in. in diameter with the bark 

 simply peeled off, which rise boldly from the floor among the seats 

 The braces are modern additions. 



An old photograph in the vestry shows a Queen Anne gallery 



between these posts, and the indications of the floor beams exist 



on the latter. From the same source we find that the old roof of 



the nave was of flat pitch ; that there were good pews with little 



i turned spindles around the top, and a massive altar rail with 



balusters of the hour-glass pattern. 



j The font is a bt^autiful one of the twelfth century — a circular 



' bowl iM't. Oin. diameter at the top with a l)and of chevron carried 



round; the lower [)art is worked like a scalloped capital, willi 



I neck-mould at the bottom edge ; l)etween the rolls are the nail-head 



I and leaf ornauKMit; of late N'orman worlc, and tho figure of a man 



I is carved on th(3 north face. The u[)[)er edge has an unusual 



moulding of later typ(^ and l)ut for the old |)iece. which has botMi 



M'fully prt'siu'Vt^iL it iui'j;hL havti l»e(3n tak'on as niodorn. A picro 



I of th(i howl has h(MMi hidkon away hy the iron hinge; ihi' haso is 



TTindorn.
