soutli aisle of the churcli there is a large lancet window in a 
triplet ; and a very small^ narrow, single one in the south 
wall, and two broad squat windows beside, and a double 
lancet one in the west end ; so that the appearance is very 
irregular. In the north aisle are two windows, made 
shorter when the roof was sloped ; and in the north transept 
a large triple window, shortened at the time of a repair in 
1721 ; when over it was opened a round one of considerable 
size, which affords an agreeable light, and renders that 
chantry the most cheerful part of the edifice/ 
The church and chancels have all coved roofs, ceiled 
about the year 1683 ; before which they were open to the 
tiles and shingles, showing the naked rafters, and threaten- 
ing the congregation with the fall of a spar, or a blow from 
a piece of loose mortar. 
On the north wall of the chancel is fixed a large oval 
white marble monument, with the following inscription ; 
and at the foot of the wall, over the deceased, and inscribed 
with his name^ age, arms, and time of death, lies a large 
slab of black marble :

^ The "lancet" windows are evidently insertions in the place of 
Perpendicular ones. Indeed, in some of them the work of the original 
windows may be distinctly traced. The " round window " may afford 
" an agreeable Hght," but it is by no means an object for admiration.
