NOTES ON YORKSHIRE CHURCHES.

By the late SIR STEPHEN GLYNNE, Bart.

(CONTINUED FROM P. 286, VOL. XIII.)

ST. JOHN, HALIFAX.

THIS is a very spacious and handsome church, almost wholly perpendicular, the exterior of which is very grand and imposing. It consists of a western tower, a nave with side aisles, and a large chancel, nearly equal in length to the nave, also with parallel aisles reaching to the east end. There is also an additional aisle or chapel on the south of the nave. A south porch has a high peaked roof open to

the interior and a kind of machicolation under it. The whole of the chancel and the south side of the nave are embattled. The south aisle of the chancel has the battlement finely pannelled and crocketed pinnacles surmounting enriched buttresses. The clerestory of the chancel is also enriched with pinnacles. The north aisle of the nave is plain and probably earlier," having two-light windows of decorated character. The tower is fine and lofty, with a pannelled battlement, eight crocketed pinnacles, and double belfry windows, and on the west side a fine perpendicular window of six lights. Most of the windows are of three lights, but one east of the south chapel of the nave is of five, as are those at the east of the side aisles. The east window of the chancel is of seven lights with a transom. In the south aisle, west of the chapel, are square-headed windows in an upper tier over the others, and in each aisle, about the middle, are inserted square-headed windows of the bay form, probably of the time of Queen Elizabeth. The interior, though grand from its space, exhibits coarser work than the exterior. The nave is divided from each aisle by five pointed arches upon octagonal pillars, and the south chapel opens to aisle by three of similar form and character. The chancel 11 Temp. Edw. 1.

is separated from the nave by a pointed arch, and that to the tower is very lofty. The chancel has five arches on each side, with piers resembling those of the nave but less lofty, as the chancel has a clerestory, which is wanting in the nave. There are two windows of three lights over each arch. The ceiling of the whole is flat, pannelled, and blazoned with arms. The ceiling of the north aisle has some carved figures in the cornice. The chancel has an additional chapel on the north, opening by two pointed arches with octagonal pier. Its east window is of five lights. There is a handsome wood screen across the chancel and its aisles, set at three arches distance from the east end. There are also several of the ancient wood stalls in the chancel, and there is another screen in the south chapel of the nave. The seats of the nave appear to be the original ones placed there about the time of James I., and from being low and with some wood carving, have a much less bad effect than modern pews. There is an old poor-box held by the figure of a man in wood. The altar is raised up several steps and enclosed by ancient rails with some carving. The east window has some fragments of stained glass. The font is octagonal and plain, but having over it a rich wood canopy of tabernacle work. The organ is set in a gallery two arches from the west end. There is also a north gallery.

ALL SAINTS, WAKEFIELD.

This church in scale is about equal to Halifax, having co-extensive aisles along the nave and chancel, and at the west end a plain tower surmounted by a very lofty though plain spire of stone, which though somewhat heavy at the base is a very conspicuous and ornamental object in the surrounding country. The tower itself has little architectural ornament. Under the battlement is a kind of machicolation, not uncommon in this neighbourhood. The belfry windows are double on each side, with something of an Early English character half obliterated. The exterior has been restored in a modern Gothic fashion, with pannelling and pinnacles, the details of which will not bear criticism. Many of the windows, originally of four lights, have been altered; those of the clerestory are square headed, set in pairs. The interior is very spacious and
