near the west end of the south wall was opened out, and has been 

 incorporated with the archway formed between the chancel and 

 the manorial porch, in the conversion of the latter into an organ 

 chamber by constructing archways in its north and west walls — a 

 buttress having been erected on the outside to take the thrust of 

 the latter. 



The north and south aisles appear to have been re-built at 

 about the middle of the 15th century, with diagonal angle buttresses 

 and plain parapets ; three-light pointed windows in the north and 

 south walls ranging nearly with the bays of the arcades (those on 

 the north having four-centred arches), and two-light pointed 

 windows in the west ends. The second windows from the west, on 

 both sides, are evidently modern copies of the others, and take the 

 place of the north and south doorways and porches which once 

 existed here. The east window of the north aisle having been 

 destroyed at some time in the erection of a vestry here, was re- 

 placed by a square-headed window in 1888, when the present nave 

 roof was constructed, the wall-braces resting on the old corbels, 

 and the east gable erected, following the lines of the ancient 

 weather-tabling on the tower, and taking the place of a low-pitched 

 slated roof which was hipped at the east end. (I would remark, 

 in passing, that this tabling is inserted in a chase in the tower wall, 

 and that there is no evidence of such tabling where the low roofs 

 abutted against the other sides.) The roofs of the chancel and 

 aisles are modern. 



A piscina exists in the eastern respond of the north arcade, 

 indicating the existence of an altar in the north aisle, and there 

 is a similar one in the south wall of the chancel. There were 

 traces of a window having been inserted in each side wall of the 

 sacrarium; they were probably late, as the one on the north cut 

 into an aumbry beneath it.
