The cost of re-building" was £860, £100 being raised by a rate, 

 £200 given by the patron (the Earl of Carnarvon) for the chancel, 

 and £100 by Lord Holland for the south transept; the remainder 

 was raised by subscription. The first stone was laid on the 7th 

 June, and the Church opened on the 8th November in the same 

 year. It is entered by a Gothic porch, with stained and lancet 

 windows, given by the architect, John Henry Hakewill, 8, Craig's 

 Court, London. The nave and chancel are tiled after the pattern 

 of the old tiles; the seats are oak, carved with a scroll pattern. 

 The chancel arches are adorned with suitable texts in red and black 

 letters. In 1880 the Church was lit throughout with handsome 

 ruby and brass triplex lamps, with chains to match ; the altar vested 

 with a set of altar cloths, and a surpliced choir of twelve placed in 

 the chancel seats, until then occupied by the vicar's family and the 

 squire's. The following are a list of monuments now in the Church. 

 At the restoration the position of some of them was necessarily 

 altered, but they are now given as placed : —
