painted with the Prescriptions. The round chancel arch rests on plan abaci, and there
are squints on each side. The Norman nave has 3 small original windows, with deep
reveals, and at the east end on each side are large lights with mullioned and tran-
somed wooden frames. The west end has a thin wall in line with the timbers supporting
the bell turret, with a central arched opening and on each side a C18 doorcase with
pediment and architrave; the upper wall containing a Royal Coat of Arms with letters
C.R. Some fragments of medieval wall paintings remains in the east gable of the nave,
and on the north wall is a consecration cross and a large St Christopher (with the top
part cut off by the lowered eaves). The south door is a tall narrow opening with a
round arch (Saxon), decorated on the outside. Fittings include a plain round font
(old - but restored), a wooden chest of 1536, and a fine longcase clock of about 1720
(a recent gift). The porch (C18) is of brickwork, with flint side panels and a tiled
roof.
