is often the case, the side on which the first extension of the 

 building took place. This arcade is of two bays of thirteenth 

 century pointed arches of two orders of chamfers, the voussoirs 

 being of Chilmark and brown sandstone alternately ; the central 

 pillar is a round one with moulded cap and base, and the responds 

 are demi-columns of the same kind. The aisle is continued as a 

 chapel along the north of the chancel, with an arch of the same 

 period between the two, this being of a wider span than the nave 

 arches, and therefore semicircular. In the full length of this north 

 wall there is only one old window — a two-light square-headed one 

 J of early in the fifteenth century ; a similar window exists in the 

 west wall ; the one in the east wall of the chapel portion is modern. 

 There is also a modern window which takes the place of a former 

 north doorway. 



The south aisle has only one arch, opposite the east bay of the 

 north arcade, but later in style — fourteenth century, with moulded 

 caps and bases to the jambs. The remainder of the aisle is divided 

 from the nave by a solid wall, with a modern-looking opening in 

 it serving as a doorway. In the south wall opposite the latter is 

 a modern window, which, like that in the north aisle, occupies the 

 position of an old doorway — there were, therefore, north and south 

 doorways to the western part of the Church, and the absence of a 

 second arch on the south of the nave seems to point to an inner 

 porch, or probably a tower, to the south aisle. There are two very 

 small windows, with square heads, in the south wall and a modern- 

 looking one in the east. The chancel arch is a simple one of 

 probably the fourteenth century — two orders of chamfers carried 

 down the jambs ; the east window, of three lights, is of the same 

 period. The two south windows of the chancel are modern. An 

 old doorway has been used in the modern tower. 



The nave and aisles retain their old roofs of probably the 

 fourteenth century, the principals being curiously shaped to flat- 

 cusped form which considerably reduces their strength. The nave 

 roof has tie-beams with good braces beneath, coming low down 

 into the spandrel of the arcade. 



There is a fourteenth century piscina with label, in the chancel.
