Notes on Churches visited in 1898. 



which there is a small dog-tooth member and a particularly small 

 abacus mould— the "bell" of the cap is very graceful and well- 

 formed. The bases, too, are moulded and of varying design ; one 

 on the north has angle tongues to connect it with the square block 

 under. The responds have small corbel shafts with caps similar 

 to those of the columns. The arches are pointed and of two orders 

 of chamfers. 



The east and west windows of the south aisle are single-light 

 trefoil-headed lancets with flatly-pointed inner arches. There 

 appear to have been three similar windows in the south wall, but 

 only one remains unaltered ; one was widened and a two-light 

 window inserted, and the inner arch adapted to the increased width, 

 in the fourteenth century, and the other has been similarly treated 

 in modern times. The absence of labels to these windows gives 

 them a bald appearance on the outside. There was an altar, much 

 elevated, at the east end of this aisle, the east window is placed 

 high to admit of it, and the coeval piscina with quatrefoil bowl 

 and shelf and trefoil arch in the south wall has its bowl 4ft. 7 in. 

 above the present floor. A squint here admits of a view of the 

 chancel ; it has, however, been altered and embellished on both 

 sides. The south door is a mean one, but probably of the same 

 date as the walls ; it has a stoup in the east jamb. 



The original windows of the north aisle differ from those of the 

 south in having trefoil inner arches. There were east and west 

 and two north windows — one of the latter was widened in the 

 fourteenth century, and the other recently, as on the south side. 

 The east window was removed by me in extending the aisle for 

 vestries in 1896, and it occupies its relative position in the -new 

 work. A piscina has been'put in its sill for vestry use. In carrying 

 out this work the squint, directed towards the high altar, was 

 opened out — it had a wood lintel which was absolutely rotten and 

 had to be renewed. 



In the north wall, near its east end, is a recessed tomb projecting 

 on the outside, and although the workmanship of it is very poor, 

 so that it almost looks like an effort of the last century, I believe it 

 to be coeval with the aisle — temp. Edward I. — when the purest and.
