The Ruthven vault, situated further east, is probably a structure of the
sixteenth or seventeenth century. Some closed up windows have features
of that period. The seat belonging to Freeland House is situated over
it.
The foundations of a building were recently discovered on the north side
of the church, exactly opposite this vault (as shown by dotted lines on
Plan), suggesting the idea that the simple Norman building had been
converted into a cross church.
