It is possible that, as the names are made to end in e, so the word 

 saint may have been garnished with the same superfluous vowel. 



The Rev. Christopher Wordsworth, to whom these inscriptions 

 have been referred, considers the first to mean S. Cuthbert, and the 

 third S. Christopher — although the former figure has a sword, and 

 the latter is that of a bishop; and that the errors in the accessories 

 are due probably to the artist having had a conventional type in 

 the abstract, without much knowledge of hagiology. 



Besides these there are almost perfect lights in the north aisle, 

 containing heraldic emblems, but no figure subjects. In one of the 

 aisle windows a single piece of heraldic glass was found with the 

 Hungerford arms (three sheaves and three sickles) on it. There are 

 in the south aisle several original oak benches, as well as parts of 

 others, including many good linen pattern panels, in the nave. 



The exterior of the Church is remarkable for the regularity of its 

 design — thus, the cornices — (although those of the nave, transepts, 

 and clerestory are of different sections) are carried all round at the 

 same level. The side windows of the chancel and the four windows 

 in the transepts are alike in dimensions and design. Then the 

 clerestory windows and those of the aisles are similar in design ; 

 those of the north and south aisles only differ in height, owing to a 

 local circumstance. Parapets are carried round the whole of the 

 roofs, and are repeated on the tower, those, however, on the north 

 aisle and transept are plain, the rest being embattled. Diagonal 

 buttresses only occur in the porch, and may be taken as one of the 

 indications of its being a somewhat later addition. All the rest of 

 the buttresses stand square with the walls, and (excepting the low 

 ones at the west angles of aisles) are carried up above the parapets.
