and the effigies of the man and wife. Below are two matrices 

 which contained those of a son and daughter, but both are now lost. 

 Mr. Kite refers to the will, dated 10th April, 1536 (nineteen years 

 after the date of the brass), of a Thomas Goddard, in which the 

 testator desires to be buried in the Parish Church of Ogbourne S. 

 George, " within the chapel of the Holy Trinity before the image 

 of the Trinity." This is probably the son of the persons commemo- 

 rated, but it furnishes additional reason for restoring the brass to 

 its former position. 



The rebuilding and extension of the north aisle appears to 

 have led to a similar work on the south, where a chapel with 

 arch identical with that on the north opens from the chancel but 

 without piscina and other evidences of an altar. The screen-work 

 in these arches is coeval with the chapels, but it has been made up 

 anew. The arch separating this from the nave aisle is probably 

 modern. There are two three-light square-headed windows in the 

 south wall and one in the east, with a diagonal buttress at the 

 south-east angle and one intermediate one. The west end appears 

 not to have been rebuilt, and the steeper pitch of the earlier aisle 

 can be traced. This aisle has a cornice and parapet — which appears 

 to have been renewed over the chapel. The porch, which was 

 probably added when the aisle was re-built, is of fine proportions, 

 the full height of the aisle wall, with the same parapet continued 

 round, and it is surmounted by the original cross. The doorway 

 has the string course carried over it as a label. 



There is a tall and narrow opening through the eastern respond 

 of the north arcade, but it is impossible to say whether it is old or 

 modern. In the south respond is a traceried squint. This tower 

 is of three stages of the best period of the Perpendicular — the work 

 being pure and massive. It has a west door with depressed arch 

 to admit of the well-developed three-light window over it, having 

 the string course of the tower carried over it as a label ; there is 

 a two-light pointed window, without label, in each face of the belfry, 

 and a two-light square-headed window in the south wall of the 

 middle stage. There is a stair- turret at the south-east angle, partly 

 absorbing the respond of the south arcade, carried up to the belfry
