6 inches wide outside. There was, as frequently happens, an aisle on the
north side about 24 feet square, opening into the church by the wide and
lofty arch seen in the view. This arch, which is simply splayed on both
faces, has two of its voussoirs projected about 6 inches beyond the
others. These may have been rests for diagonal pieces to carry the
continuation of the roof at the arch. A sundial (Fig. 1547), bearing the
date 1700, stands in the usual place at the south-west corner.
The district was formerly served by a chapel which stood a mile or so to
the south of Gladsmuir, of which all traces having been recently
removed, only its site can be pointed out.
