Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Archaeological Journal, 1846, Vol. 2: Published Under the Direction of the Central Committee of the Archaeological Institute of Great Britain and Ireland The church consists Of a fine chancel, a central tower, and a nave; with aisles extending from the western front Of the building to the eastward face of the tower; a south porch, and a vestry attached to the north side Of the Chancel. The nave and chancel are of about the same height, that is, their roofs are nearly on the same level; but the base-moulding, which runs round the whole, is varied in its level by several breaks, being considerably lower in the west than in the east front. This, as well as the string-course under the windows, is uniform throughout, except in the additional chapel. Both ends are finished with an embattled parapet, instead Of a gable, the central battlement being raised in two stages, so as to suit the pitch Of the roof, which accordingly is very low. In fact the only gable in the chru ch is that of the vestry, which has almost as low a pitch as it is possible to give. The parapet Of both Chancel and nave is embattled, and has pinnacles Of a square section, with delicately em battled horizontal strings, (instead Of gables or canopies, ) their faces being set cardinally. They are not crocketed but have a well-executed finial. This kind Of pinnacle is in excellent cha racter, and well suited to the building.
