supported by an iron bracket from tbe wall. The painting and 

 gilding on the cover is copied from remains of the original deco- 

 ration, which was found when the later paint, which imitated oak, 

 was removed. The font was removed from its present position to 

 one by the south door about 1850, and was replaced in the resto- 

 ration carried out under the late Mr. W. Slater, architect. The 

 floor of the passages throughout both the nave and aisles is tiled. 

 The seats are oak with good Jacobean ends, with carved panels in 

 the upper part; their date is about 1600. The pulpit is, likewise, 

 an oak one, with Jacobean carving on a modern base. The lectern 

 is oak, a copy of the old one I think in Deptling Church, Kent. 



The North Aisle. The walls are covered with cement throughout. 

 At the west end is a tablet to Charles Burridge, 1860. Just west 

 of the north door is the doorway leading to the room over the 

 porch. It is approached by a flight of twenty-one steps. At the 

 top is another door, opening inwards. The window looking north 

 in this room has been fitted with shutters in two folds. On the 

 opposite side is a modern fireplace and by its side a small " Deco- 

 rated " window, looking into the aisle. Near it is a cupboard in 

 the wall. The ceiling is plaster, not ancient. The floor is of 

 rough stone slabs. Eeturning to the aisle, just east of the north 

 door is an aumbry, with a stone shelf, under a pointed arch. On 

 this shelf the loaves of bread used to be placed, which were given 

 to the poor as they left the Church. At the east end of the aisle 

 is a large arch like the one in the south aisle. Over the western 

 half of the aisle there is a panelled ceiling of the same type as that 

 over the other aisle. One of the main beams has the following 

 inscription: — JESU MARIA ANNO DOMINI MCCCCCXXXV 



EDWARD scammell JOHN wekes Wa [in old English letter- 

 ing]. There may be an inscription on the other side of the beam as 

 well, but this cannot now be seen. On the next principal west is 

 the following inscription: — in the yere of ovre lorde god 1569 

 this hele was set vp and [continued on the west side] in the 11
