South — on east, the head of a man wearing a kind of cap with 

 cord tied under the chin. 



East — both modern. 

 The splays of outer order of arches are stopped on a circular 

 drum carried on attached angle-shafts on the piers with moulded 

 caps and bases — one cap (only) has a dog-tooth member. There is 

 no evidence of vaulting, but massive corbels for wood beams. The 

 chancel has east window of triple lights with trefoil heads ; the 

 arches, both outside and inside, are richly moulded, following the 

 same line, and are carried on shafts with moulded caps and bases 

 — one (only) of the outer caps is foliated. 1 



In the north wall is a single lancet without label ; a similar one 

 existed on the south of the sanctuary, and the string-course under 

 the east window is dropped to come under it inside, but the window 

 was re-modelled late in the 14th century. The north wall has 

 been much disturbed, for the string-course is missing here. I find 

 no trace of the low-side window referred to by Canon Jackson 

 as existing, although built up, in 1862. 2 The north transept has 

 received little structural alteration since its erection in the 13th 

 century, and the windows remain untouched, with the exception 

 of the one in the west wall where it projects beyond the aisle ; this 

 has been renewed on the outside in consequence of injury caused 

 to it by the erection of gallery steps there. Both here and on the 

 east side the eaves tabling is formed by the re-use of Norman corbels, 

 including three heads. The window in the north gable is a triple 

 lancet, the central light carried higher than the side ones. There 

 are two chamfers and a rebate on the outside, and label moulds 



1 The outer label and terminals, as well as the gable copings and cross, are 

 obviously the work of the late Mr. Christian. 



2 I have since ascertained from the Vicar that the following passages occur 

 in the report of Mr. T. H. Wyatt, the architect for the restoration of the 

 Church in 1870 : — " A doorway originally existed in the north wall of chancel 

 near the east end. It is now blocked and probably opened into a sacristy. 

 Near it is a small square opening (now also blocked up) with an early 

 moulding. This was probably a ' leper window.' The tower was re-built 

 from the level of the ridge of roofs (there having been a spire originally) about 

 140 years ago."
