who died in 1401, having married a daughter of Sir John Paveley, of 

 Brook House. This consists of a Purbeck slab^from which two brasses 

 have been removed,restirjg on a panelled altar-tomb, with a canopy, and 

 there are indications of similar tracery, in the two-side openings, to 

 that referred to in the last. At the east end there is a niche, and at 

 the west end a canopied oratory, in which the priest might stand 

 when singing mass, the canopy and cornice being continued over it. 

 The cornice has the vine pattern carved in it, and a portion of the 

 crested parapet still remains. There are various shields bearing 

 arms, which Canon Jackson considers hardly bear out the union of 

 Sir R. Cheney with Sir J. Paveley's heiress — though the rudder 

 (the Paveley badge) is many times repeated on the shields and in 

 the carving. This tomb extends the full width between the two 

 pillars, which have been cut away to receive it. Both tomb and 

 pillars bear traces of original painting, in spite of the scraping 

 which the former has received. 



Against this, on the nave side (and immediately at the foot of 

 the steps leading to the raised part of the floor) exists the moulded 

 stone curb of an ancient carol or enclosed chantry, and the position of 

 a similar one can be traced on the north side of the nave. 



The font, which stands at the west end of the north aisle, has 

 been much mutilated ; it has a bowl of Purbeck marble on a stone 

 base and an oak Jacobean cover. The pulpit is a good one o£ 

 Jacobean date, with sounding-board. 



There are .many valuable bits of stained glass in the Church in 

 the style of the fourteenth century. The three-light east window 

 of the north transept (or lady chapel) contains almost intact the 

 subject of the crucifixion, Our Lady and S. John flanking the 

 main figure. 



The clerestory windows contain figures of the bishops, with 

 mutilated inscriptions beneath them, of which an illustration is 

 here given. 



Dr, Bock, in his work called " Hierugia," at page 786, gives the 

 names of a number of saints mentioned in an Anglo-Saxon litany 

 of the tenth century, both male and female. The names of the 

 males are given : —
