north-west angle. This room, as it now exists, is of later construction
than the church, and is not older than the seventeenth century. The
stair, however, is part of the original construction, and is believed to
have given access to a belfry on the west wall, as well as to the room
which doubtless existed from the first over the vestibule, and which
(see Fig. 1469) was provided with a fireplace and a window in the west
gable.
The ceiling of the existing room (see Fig. 1470) cuts across the archway
in an awkward manner. Doubtless the original room was at a slightly
higher level, so as not to interfere with the arch. The ceiling and
floor of the room are in a very ruinous state, the greater part having
fallen. The ceiling is painted in bright colours. It has a figure of the
sun in the centre with rolling clouds around, and till lately there was
a complete figure of an angel on one side, of which only slight
indications now remain. On
