A cross formerlyornamented the gable of the Porch, and its socket still remains, as do those ofthe crosses formerly on the gables of the east end of the Nave and Chancel. There is a room above the Porch, lighted by a small square-headed windowin the west wall, with a staircase from the Church, (PI. I. k.) This is supposedto be the apartment formerly occupied by the morrow mass priest of the Chaun-try Chapel; but, alas ! how changeable are all things in this transitory world—it is now the Register Office for gas consumed in the Church.
