Of the old Nor. building there are three windows, chancel arch and door of nave; E. window of two lancets is E.E.; in S. wall is a Dec. window, and at the side of it an Anchorite's sacrament squint (discovered by Mr. P. M. Johnston). Font, plain, Nor.(?). The mural paintings deserve special notice, as they are among the oldest in England. The subjects comprise B.V. Mary and Child, Adoration of Magi, Flight into Egypt, Massacre of Innocents, Salutation of Elizabeth, Lazurus, Adam and Eve with the Serpent, St George at the Battle of Antioch, etc. (vide S.A.C., vol. 44).
