102 ARCHITECTURAL NOTES IN THE headed, though with arches and fohations to the hghts ; the eastern whidow is a pointed one of two Hghts. The piscina occupies the usual phice in the south wall of the chancel, its recess is a simple round arch with a chamfer. There is no chancel door. The font is a fine cylindrical one, of Norman character, with an arcade of intersecting arches. The dimen- sions of this building are as follows; Breadth of nave internally Length (to western face of chancel-arcli) Depth of chancel-areli . Span of ditto Breadth of chancel Length of ditto (to eastern face of chancel-arch) Tliickness of the side walls of the nave FT. IN. . 19 10 . 44 5 . 3

The pyra- midical form given to its eastern elevation, by the slopes on the north and south sides, is also ctirried out in its elevation as seen from the north or south by smaller slopes, by which its thickness from east to west is made to taper upwards. The arch is a round one, somewhat depressed or segmental. The next church I shall notice also contains Norman work. This is Brockworth, about five miles from Cheltenham, near the Painswick road. It presents a very picturesque outline, -e^j^. m ^r^ ell-luutsl bti ke Oichard Chi
