WINDOWS 5 to 6
The
vestry door, door 2, leading to the chancel was either originally an
external door or was put into the wall when the vestry was constructed
in 1903. The hoodmould is weathered. The stonework round the sides and
top resembles that of door 1, with no sign of weathering.
The stop on the south side in the form of a man’s head is weathered. It has flowing locks suggestive of Shakespeare.
Window 5 viewed from within the vestry.
The
right stop has similar flowing hair and is similarly weathered. Both
heads have intricate detail to be seen when viewed from the side and the
head is smaller than the stone block fitting into the wall.
Window 5 viewed from the south aisle. There are stops on both sides which have a smooth surface as if for receiving paint.
Window 6 on the outside has heads worn and with a mediaeval style.
The heads are set on stonework that juts out from the wall. There is
much sculptural detail on the heads when viewed from the side. The
carving has a lack of symmetry characteristic of mediaeval work
Window 6 is the other window in the church to accompany Window 5 with an
internal hoodmould and it has decorated stops.
The internal stops appear to have been tacked on to the hoodmould rather
than being originally there. There is much detail on the sides of the
heads of the internal stops and the blocks that fit into the wall are
irregular and larger than the heads. These features suggest a mediaeval
date.
