ST MARGARET. In the W wall of the nave remains of a wide Norman arch, later narrowed. This seems to have been done about 1300, and at that time the W tower was built, see its W doorway. The upper parts are of brick and Early Tudor. The chancel is much renewed, but may have been E. E. The chancel arch, though of unusual mouldings, makes this possible. Equally unusual the details of the arcades. Are bases and capitals badly re-tooled? The quatrefoil piers with deep continuous hollows between the foils could be of the C13. The arches are nearly round and thus also baffling. - MONUMENTS. John Heaton, 1779. With a bust at the top of a tablet. - Several minor tablets.
Even more baffling - another one Mee missed.
