sandstone in alternate bands, while those outside are of one kind 

 of stone. The west wall has been largely rebuilt between the 

 buttresses and three fragments of Norman work inserted, with 

 examples of the bead mould of the period. 



The arches are all of two orders of chamfers, the outer order is 

 carried round from the jambs, while the inner springs from moulded 

 corbels ; the arch on the east side is coeval with the building of the 

 aisles in the fourteenth century, but two Norman heads were re- 

 used as corbels. The south arch appears to have been inserted at 

 the same time but rebuilt since ; it has one Norman corbel and 

 one with a distinctly Early English type of foliated carving. The 

 north arch appears to be over a century later, one corbel having 

 late Decorated foliated carving while the other is an angel corbel. 



The chancel is a plain one without buttresses, dating from the 

 early half of the thirteenth century. It has two lancets in the 

 south wall, two on the north, and a triple lancet window on the 

 east, with coeval string-course under it on the inside ; the string 

 below this again is modern, as also are the north door and the roof 

 of the chancel, the roof of the nave, and the chancel arch. There 

 is a piscina in the south wall of the sanctuary. 



The north and south aisles and the porch were erected in the 14th 

 century, and the arcades are beautiful specimens of simple Deco- 

 rated work. The pillars are of clustered form with moulded caps 

 and bases, the arcades are of two orders of chamfers, the inner 

 springing from corbels on the responds — one of these has the same 

 kind of carving as that in the south arch of the tower. The aisles 

 are of three bays, and there were formerly doorways in the central 

 bays (that on the south has given place to a modern window) with 

 a three-light square-headed window in each side bay ; a similar 

 window occurs in the east end of the north aisle, while the one in 

 the south aisle is pointed, and its apex has been cut into by the 

 parapets. Square buttresses are used at the angles and to divide 

 the bays on the south where there is no porch. 



The porch on the north is of two storeys, the lower having a 

 four-centred doorway under a square head with a two-light square- 

 headed window to light the priest's room over. This is approached
