church white-limed and painted. By the former, the base of the stone screen,
which had before been removed to its present position, namely, under the arch
between the church and the chancel, w 7as buried; the screen itself was mucli
injured, and some elegant fresco paintings on the w Talls of the chantry cliapel
were covered, portions of which are now visible; and, although the present
worthy rector, the Rev. Richard Warner, is most anxious to have these reno-
vated, they are so completely destroyed by this barbarous practice, that they
must only remain as proofs of the magnincence of past ages. Mr. Warner has
done much towards restoring other portions of the church, particularly the west
window, and has enriched the other windows with stained glass.
