porch and a western turret containing two bells, cast in 1865 : of
the original structure there remain in the nave two very small lights
of rude workmanship, one on each side, with circular heads, and there
is another in the north wall of the chancel ; these are undoubtedly
of pre-Norman work, and must have been where Abbot Briteric gave the
