end of the Norman work and extending in width about half-way 

 between this and the chancel. The archways opening into the nave 

 are of two orders of chamfers, the outer carried down to the floor 

 and the inner dying out on the jamb. The south chapel remains 

 unaltered — it has diagonal buttresses at the angles, and a three-light 

 window with flowing tracery in the south gable. In the south wall 

 is a richly-moulded piscina with ogee cusped arch, a square bowl 

 partially cut away, and an added wood shelf. The existence of this 

 feature here indicates the dedication of the chapel as a chantry. 

 The original roof remains, with moulded tie-beam and central king- 

 post with braces. 



Late in the fifteenth century (circa 1490 — 1500) the north chapel 

 was extended in length to overlap part of the chancel and converted 

 into an adjunct more resembling an aisle with roof running east 

 and west instead of transept- wise as before, a second arch being 

 inserted in the wall of the nave eastward of the original one (a flat 

 pier being left between them), and a corresponding one in the north 

 wall of the chancel. In carrying out these alterations the fourteenth 

 century walls appear to have been re-built (or re-faced), for, like the 

 rest of the work of this chapel, they have no buttresses ; the external 

 masonry throughout is the same coursed stone and flint work, and 

 the same plinth mould is carried round. But the north and west 

 windows were re-inserted in their former positions ; thus, although 

 the west wall became a gable under the new plan, the same low 

 two-light square-headed window which formerly came under the 

 «aves was retained, and kept at its low level, and a new two-light 

 square-headed window of the type prevailing at the date of the 

 alteration placed over, but not central with it, making a curious 

 two-storey arrangement ; then the three-light window in the north 

 wall was replaced opposite the arch, as it would have originally 

 existed when in the centre of the north gable of the transept chapel. 

 The rest of the work in this aisle chapel is of the late and somewhat de- 

 based type of Perpendicular prevailing early in the sixteenth century. 

 Th8 doorway in the north wall and the east window of three lights 

 have four-centred arches, and the latter is without cusps in the tracery. 

 The waggon-head roof still remains. In the north wall of this
