corbel-heads, and the string Westward of it, are also new. This doorway

the side walls of the chancel have new stone bottoms and lintels; the
former lintels were of wood. The East wall has been entirely rebuilt above
the lower windows. The mullion of the circular window, together with its
head and base, which were all of oak, have been renewed in stone. The
shaft of another mullion, and the head of a third, are also new; the
tracery was repaired; and one new stone was inserted at the top of the
circumference. A little new masonry was required in reinstating the string
and the lower windows. Nearly the whole of the North wall of the chancel
has been rebuilt, except a portion between its Westernmost

window and the nave. A few pieces of new stone were needed to make good
the upper string.
A pair of scissors (or rather small shears) was found
embedded in the walling, in the lower part of the Western end of the North
wall of the chancel. In the lower part of the Eastern end of the same
wall, there was a fragment of ornamental stone-work bearing the following
design:
In the upper part of the Northern portion of the West wall of
the nave, a piece of string moulding,

time.
