bellcote, eastmost bay of side walls, and fragment of north

jam. Coursed and squared rubble with polished dressings.

Central door in gable and windows in side walls all round-

headed, with pilastered jambs, moulded arches and keystones;

oculus in gable head. Straight skews; plain bird-cage bellcote

with ball-finialed ogee roof still houses 1606 bell.

Fragments of eaves course and moulded cornice. 1742
