74 The Churches of Bulford, Enford, and Fittleton. 



the upper half of the south wall have been re-built. The three 

 Perpendicular windows were preserved but their labels lost : they 

 are all square-headed — a three-light window in the east wall, a 

 similar one in the west, and two two-light windows in the south 

 wall. The porch suffered the same fate as the upper part of the 

 aisle, and has been re-built, the old arch stones having been re- 

 worked and re-used. 



The tower is a good specimen of the Perpendicular of the middle 

 of the 15th centuiw. It is of three stages in height, the lower 

 stage having two fine archways — one opening into the nave on the 

 east, and a similar one into the north aisle-chapel, which extends 

 in length to the west face of the tower. The original roof of the 

 chapel must have been higher at this point than elsewhere, and 

 traces of the lead gutter can be seen at some 5ft. above the present 

 one. The floor of the tower is 3ft. above the level of the nave, the 

 natural fall of the ground being towards the east. There is a good 

 three-light pointed window in the west wall of the lower stage, 

 with a doorway beneath it. The stair-turret at the south-west 

 angle is carried up for the full height of the tower, but the top 

 stage of the whole was re-built after the fall of the spire, and there 

 is no evidence of the old windows. 



The roofs of nave and chapel were part of the re-construction, the 

 former, like the clerestory, bears the date 1825 ; 1 they were ceiled 

 beneath, and the oak-work of the nave ceiling was added in 1893. 

 The roof of the chancel bears the date 1804, when the present brick 

 south wall, with its Georgian windows, was built. 



The old hour-glass stand has been preserved, and fixed by the 

 new pulpit. In the sacristy is an interesting pewter inkstand, with 

 its box for sand. 



The font is a Perpendicular one of octagonal form, the east face 

 having a shield charged with four fusils ; the south-east a key 

 and scroll crossed ; the south-west a Greek cross ; the north-west, 

 a cross saltire ; and the west, the monogram I. U.S. The cover is 



1 An inscription painted on a board records the fact that =£345 was realised 

 by the sale of the lead which covered the old roof.
