the north and south transepts, and in two windows of the north 

 aisle, the latter having figures of bishops. 



Considerable remains of colour are still to be found in the Church. 

 The most remarkable is a fresco over the doorway in the south wall 

 of the south chapel. The whole of the walls here have traces of 

 colouring, but the only subject now decipherable apparently repre- 

 sents a scene not often the subject of medieval art, the raising of 

 the daughter of Jairus. The recumbent female figure is fairly well 

 preserved and well drawn ; she is lying on the ground with her feet 

 towards the east, and her hands resting at her sides, clothed in a 

 long garment, but exposing her head and neck, with flowing hair. 

 The other figures are only visible by indistinct outlines, but there 

 are sufficient to shew Our Lord, with a nimbus, standing by the 

 side of the female figure, with one hand outstretched over her, and 

 seven attendants standing by. 



On the east wall of the south transept, over the archway and 

 above the position of the altar, are other traces, the latter shewing 

 an archway, but the subjects are not decipherable. There are 

 indistinct traces on the walls of the north aisle, also on the columns 

 of the south arcade, and on the east wall of the nave over the 

 archway of the central tower. 



Over the doorway in the south aisle wall there are remains of 

 some colouring of later date ; a panel containing some inscription 

 now indistinct, enclosed by a border of Elizabethan character, 

 having a male figure on each side, the one on the west holding a rod. 



The remarkable colouring of a part of the south arcade is said to 

 be a reproduction of ancient work, traces of which were found by 

 the architect in the late restoration. 



The ruined steps, base, and stem of a churchyard cross remain by 

 the side of the pathway opposite the door of the south chapel. 



Wanboeotjgh Church, S. Andrew. 1 

 This Church, though more simple in plan than Purton, possesses 



a similar general symm etry of arrangement.

prepared, which have been placed at my disposal
