expense. A new font was given by Mrs. Howley, the Archbishop's wife; and Mr. George Gipps substituted a raised platform with seats for children, singers, and others, instead of the western gallery, in 1846. The new pulpit (designed by Mr. Blomfield, architect), and the handsome new eagle lectern, of brass, were presented to the church by Mr. S. Musgrave Hilton at a cost of £150, in 1875.

THE HIGH CHANCEL.
   The lofty and spacious chancel has, in its east wall, a triplet of noble lancets; united by a small continuous hood moulding. Of the five windows which pierce each of its side walls, the westernmost, on either side, is of two lancet lights, surmounted by a simple quatrefoil. All the others are plain lancets, somewhat broad. Beneath the whole of these, both on the exterior and on the interior, runs a continuous stringcourse, which entirely embraces the chancel walls. It makes two rectangular descents in its course from east to west; and a deeper descent, beneath the first lancet from the east; and a deeper descent, beneath the two-light westernmost

window in each wall. The interior string-course has a deeply cut hollow, surmounted by a bold circular moulding. The exterior string has three flat surfaces, the face is vertical, and from it the other sides slope, (one upward, and the other downward,) to meet the wall.
   The piscina in the south wall has two basins, beneath a well-moulded and boldly trefoiled arch, which sprang from circular detached shafts, but they are gone. The priest's door, in the middle of the south wall, opens beneath the stringcourse and is of simple character. The roof, ceiled between the rafters, has been very recently opened by the rector, the Rev. E. Gilder, who caused the ceiling to be removed; it had been similar to that now in the nave. Remnants of two stall-elbows, now used to support seats, shew that in the fifteenth century this chancel was fitted with stalls. They were eighteen in number; and they remained here until the beginning of the last century, but they had disappeared before 1759. In the chancel floor is a tombstone, long ago robbed of its brass, commemorating
