Rh very little below the pavement. The capitals in the transepts differ from those in the nave, although throughout are similar lancet windows. The east window is very large, of an unusual pattern, with perfectly plain mullions. The clerestory windows have been filled up. There is a piscina in the north transept, and a good Perp. screen at the entrance to the chancel. The porch is Perp., and contains a stoup. In the south transept are brasses of a knight and a lady, by tradition Dalyngriggs. (For these, from Boutell, see Suss. Arch. Coll. II, 309.) It will be observed, that no earlier date than Norm. has been assigned to this church; but certainly the tower is well deserving of notice, and may be regarded as of the same character with that of Bosham; which, in my opinion, it even exceeds in attractions to the antiquary.

98. .—(Val. Eccl.) notices the chapel of Wotton in the deanery of Pevensey, thereby indicating the place of that name in the parish of Folkington, which belongs to the aforesaid deanery; not Wotton in East Chiltington, that being within the deanery of Lewes.

99. .—A small church of flint with stone dressings, consisting of nave, chancel, south porch (partly of modern brick) and wooden bell-turret over the west end. The south wall has been rebuilt, containing many old stones, and a small Dec. window. The chancel is Norm., much patched, with north and south original windows, but the eastern is Dec. The north wall of the nave is Norm., with two narrow round-headed windows, and another smaller and earlier, closed. There is also a door, disused, of later insertion. The west window is Perp., part of the hood moulding being of brick, though the bricks were formed in a mould, not cut, for the purpose. The arch of the south door is pointed, close to which a Norm. capital projects from the interior wall. The chancel arch is semicircular, Norm.; there has been in the chancel a low side window, now closed. The font is square, and rude. Several oak benches remain in a mutilated condition.

100. .—This church is built in the form of a cross, consisting of chancel, nave, and two side aisles, the transepts being two private chapels, those of Hempsted and Bentley. In the western pier of the north transept is a staircase, now concealed. "The belfry tower, which was of stone, and stood at the west end of the church, fell down, together with the western wall, soon after the evening service, one Sunday in 1667. In
