out of its original position. The south wall has been re-built above 

 the plinth level, and a doorway of 18th century type inserted, 

 having semi-circular arch with key-stone outside (the old label and 

 base stones being re-used) and a wood lintel inside. 



This stump of the tower is now terminated by a hipped tiled 

 roof. 



Another feature which has been partially swept away was a 

 shallow transept or chapel where the modern annexe stands, and a 

 buttress remaining on the east side shows it to have been of 14th 

 century date. 



About sixty years ago this was replaced by the present erection 

 — a kind of transept 36ft. deep by 16ft. wide, of very poor design, 

 with three windows on each side, a gallery at the north end, and 

 a doorway under in it. An ugly arch forms the communication 

 between it and the nave. 



The Church of All Saints, Enford, Wilts. 



This is one of the most valuable of the interesting group of 

 early Churches along the valley of the Avon, but unfortunately 

 it suffered considerable injury from the fall of the spire oc- 

 casioned by a lightning stroke on the 2nd of March, 1817, and 

 still greater injury both to the historical features of the Church 

 and the effect of its interior has resulted from the manner in which 

 a large sum of money was expended in the repairs necessitated by 

 this accident : although the date 1825 occurs on the clerestory 

 these works do not appear to have been completed until 1831. 



The Church consists of a narrow nave with north and south 

 arcades of four bays of round arches with square soffits, and square 

 short piers with angle shafts — the work of the early part of the 

 12th century ; over these there is an unusually high clerestory 

 carrying the walls 18ft. above the soffit of the arcade and making 

 the height of the nave nearly twice its internal width. The north 

 side of the clerestory is a plain unpierced wall, which exists in 

 practically the same condition as when it was erected in the 14th
