springs from semi-octagonal shafts. The roof, originally a plain timber one, is now covered with plaster. It is proposed very shortly completely to restore this part of the Church.

The Nave is 43ft.long by 21ft.broad. At the west end is a four-light

decorated window with the tracery formed of quatrefoils-an arrangement commonly met with in windows of this period. A buttress on each side forms a support to the wall, on the summit of which is a double gable of plain character containing two small bells.

There were anciently doorways both on the north and south sides, but the former has been blocked up. In addition to the west window there are two others in the side walls, each of two trefoil-headed lights beneath a square head. At the east end, on

either side of the Chancel-arch, is also a small trefoil headed light. The angle-buttresses are low and massive; that on the north-west has on each of its sides a shallow niche with a decorated canopy, an enrichment which was not bestowed on the other three. A similar canopy, carved on the face of a large stone, and enclosing figure, apparently of the Angel Gabriel, (which seems to have formed part of a group representing the Annunciation and perhaps formed part of the reredos anciently over the altar), was discovered in making a vault over the south-east angle of the nave in 1832, and is now preserved in the interior of the Church.

THE FONT.

The Font, which stands nearly in the centre of the Nave, is of the date of the Norman period, and consequently two centuries older
