scarcity of a more easily-worked stone would seem to have rendered 

 such a plan economical and sometimes necessary. The remaining 

 quoin stones and the windows are of Bath oolite. The east 

 window has lost its mullions and tracery, but the label remains on 

 the outside and the arch and jamb inside — the splay with a cavetto 

 on the inner edge being carried round both. The window is 5ft. 

 wide between the jambs, and was probably of three narrow lights. 



In the east half of the north wall is a single-light early Decorated 

 window with ogee head, and there are parts of a corresponding- 

 window on the south, where the modern doorway is. The position 

 of the original doorway is not quite clear, but it was probably at 

 the west end, where some re-building of the wall appears to have 

 taken place. 



On each side of the site of the altar is a small and rudely-formed 

 aumbry, one having been filled with brick. 



Part of the thin inside surface plaster remains, as at Chisbury. 

 No trace of the old roof remains. Some of the stones on the west 

 and north show signs of fire. Was this Chapel re-built after being 

 burnt ?

This little Church consists of nave and chancel (with vestry on 

 the north, south porch, and a turret over the western bay of the 

 roof, all modern). It is built of flint with freestone dressings, and, 

 although the east end of the chancel has an earlier appearance at 

 first sight, I consider that the structure is practically of one period 

 — the end of the twelfth century, since which time the outer walls 

 have been little altered. A feature which more than anything else 

 indicates this early period for the whole of the walls is that the 

 quoins only had plinths on the outside — this feature has recently 

 been (doubtless for some good reason) extended to the whole of the 

 chancel walls, but I have notes made on 261]] August, 1885, when 

 the chancel, as well as the nave, had no plinths excepting to the 

 quoins. The flint-work has a, herring-bone tendency in some parts 

 of the west and north walls, but this does not indicate an earlier
