which has a common plinth carried all round level.) The sacristy 

 has a lean-to roof of flat pitch and retains the original parapet 

 with moulded cornice and saddle-back coping on the three sides, 

 the cornice stopped by a good head on the east. The parapet on 

 the chancel has been altered ; the cornice along the south is of a 

 different and richer section, and the parapet is brought forward to 

 the outer edge of it. The saddle-back coping here (but not the 

 cornice) was continued up the gable when the Church was restored, 

 in place of the flat tabling shown by the model. 



Inside, the most striking feature of the chancel is the beautiful 

 group of three sedilia on the south of the sanctuary, the western- 

 most being about 5in. below the others (Fig.b), The mullions and the 

 corresponding pilasters on the jambs are square on plan, with sunk 

 panelling on the visible faces, and traceried and crocketed gablets 

 having head terminals surmounted by plain diagonal embattled 

 pinnacles. From these gablets rise the ogee-arched canopies with 

 pointed cusps and moulded labels, and the latter with the typical 

 Decorated foliated crockets and finials. The seats are divided by 

 attached wall shafts and moulded arches; the soffits are plain. 



Eastward of the sedilia is a piscina with ogee arch and similar 

 label and finial, the latter better preserved than those of the 

 sedilia. The jambs and arch have two orders of the wave mould, 

 and in the jambs are grooves for a shelf ; the bowl is octagonal 

 with the dishing of quatrefoil form. The doorway into the sacristy 

 is similar to the priest's door in the south wall. The arch opening 

 into the nave is the full width of the chancel, a simple one of two 

 orders of chamfers, the inner larger than the outer. 



The windows have splayed inner jambs and curtain arches with 

 cavetto on edge, stopped above the sill. 



The chancel work, as compared with that of the S. aisle, indicates 

 a decided advance in style, and the ogee form has become well 

 developed in the arches and labels of the piscina and sedilia, and 

 in the window tracery. The door between the sacristy and the 

 chapel is modern, and is not shown in the model. 



The tower, with the exception of the arch into the nave, was 

 certainly built during the 14th century, although it possesses
