In fpeaking of the church, I have all along talked of the eaft 
and weft-end, as if the chancel flood exadly true to thofe 
points of the compafs ; but this is by no means the cafe, for the 
fabric bears fo much to th£- north of the eafl that the four corners 
of the tower, and not the four fides, fland to the four cardinal 
points. The beft method of accounting for this deviation feems 
to be, that the workmeil, who- probably were employed in the 
longeft- days, endeavoured to fet the chancels to the rifing of the 
fun. 
' Clofe by the church, at the well; end, flands the vicarage-houfe; 
an old, but roomy and convenient edifice. It faces very agreeably 
to tiie morning fun, and is divided from the village by a neat and 
cheerful court. According to the manner of old times, the hall 
was open to the roof; and fo continued, probably, till the vicars: 
became family-men, and began to v/ant more conveniencies ; when 
they flung a floor acrofs, and, by partitions, divided the fpace into- 
chambers. In this hall we remember a date, fome time in the 
feign of Elizabeth ; it was over the door that leads to the flairs. 
Behind the houfe is a garden, of an irregular fliape, but well laid 
out ; whofe terrace commands fo romantic and pidurefque a pro- 
fpeft, that the firft mailer in landfcape might contemplate it with 
pleafure, and deem it an objedt well worthy of his pencil.
