Wilts Obituary. 



north side, fair with the west face, is the stair- turret, an octagonal 

 one of large dimensions carried up for some feet above the top of 

 the tower : at present it is incomplete, for its parapet has been lost. 

 The tower is surmounted by a cornice enriched with the ball-flower, 

 and solid-looking plain parapet and copings ; at the angles are 

 plain water-spouts. Within the parapet rises the rather low-pitched 

 spire, which is surrounded at mid-height by a band coped with an 

 embattled member. The arch communicating with the nave is of 

 three orders of splays, the inner two dying on to the jambs, which 

 are flat and have only the outer splay carried down the angles. 

 The original inside doorway giving access to the turret remains, as 

 well as a modern outer one.
