spandrels being filled with rubble-work. On the inside the three 

 lights have richly-moulded arches with labels, springing from 

 detached shafts with moulded caps and bases. 



On the south are three single lancets, all of which originally had 

 plain two-centred heads, and the westernmost one retains this form, 

 but the other two appear to have been worked to an imitation of 

 the trefoil form within recent years. There is a similar window, 

 but with original trefoil head, north of the sanctuary. All these 

 windows have curtain arches. The sills of two of the windows 

 have been cut down in the recent restoration, for sedilia and 

 credence. There is a charming piscina on the south of the 

 sanctuary, having a sharply-pointed arch with triple-filleted roll 

 mould carried round from the bowl ; the latter is supported by a 

 shaft with moulded cap, the base has gone. There is a square 

 aumbry in the north wall. It will be noticed that none of the 

 chancel windows have outside labels, and that there are no buttresses. 



The chancel arch is a beautiful specimen of thirteenth century 

 work. The mouldings of the arch are particularly rich. The 

 jambs have attached shafts with moulded caps and bases. The 

 squint northward of this is modern. 



The nave followed shortly after the chancel, and the pretty 

 three-light window westward of the porch, with its narrow moulded 

 lights with trefoil heads, bears evidence of the dawn of "Decorated" 

 feeling which set in at the end of the reign of Henry III. There 

 is a dwarf buttress at the south-east angle, and a similar one at the 

 original north-east angle of the original nave (now inside the aisle, 

 at the east end), which was not removed when the aisle was added. 

 The buttress at the south-west angle is a later addition and peculiar ; 

 ■ it is a diagonal one, the face of which does not project beyond the 

 quoin of the wall over. 



The greater part of the south wall eastward of the porch was 

 re-built in the restoration by Mr. Butterfield, when the two new 

 three-light windows were inserted; but the piscina in this wall, 

 very near to its east end, is an original one of the thirteenth 

 century. 



The picturesque turret over the east end of the nave is also ooe"\ al
