 "Western usage, and are not necessarily connected with roods, rood 

 beams, or rood lofts.

 Church arrangement was considerable in this country in the Anglo- 

 saxon period. 



6. That the Stockton arrangement, though not likely to find 

 favour in this country, since the introduction of chancel arches and 

 light open screens, is, nevertheless, worthy of consideration for

[N.B. — Part of the foregoing paper was read by the author before an ordinary 

 meeting of the Society of Antiquaries, London, 15th January, 1880, and an 

 abstract is printed in the Proceedings, N.S., vol. viii., No. iii., p. 230. About 

 the same time, in restoring and re- fixing an interesting Perpendicular rood screen 

 in Poltimore Church, near Exeter, it was discovered that the central part of the 

 east wall of the nave had been cut away, apparently in the fifteenth century, from 

 floor to roof, leaving an opening about 7ft. wide, and a hagioscope was found on 

 each side, filled up with masonry, and plastered over.]
