symbolical of the passage, "out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing." The other represents two creatures, both having human heads and the bodies of animals in the act of wrestling. The age of these corbels is not known, but they are both ancient.

The piscina, which is in an excellent state of preservation, is also Perpendicular.

High up on the wall is fixed a helmet, which probably belonged to Sir William Gostwick, Baronet, who rests in the Gostwick Chapel. The reredos is beautiful, as the exquisite needlework on a ground of olive green, the work of Mrs. Orlebar, is framed with lovely carved oak in a chaste and delicate design of leaves, flowers, grapes and wheat. This fine Jacobean carving, at one period, formed part of the altar rails. The crimson plush panels of the altar, with the decorative design of white Annunciation lilies and a cross in the centre, are also the handiwork of the wife of the Vicar.

Beneath the altar is a slab of white stone, marked with five tiny crosses. This is a survival of Pre-Reformation days, and is evidently an old altar slab; the crosses are emblematic of the five wounds in the Body of Christ. This slab was discovered some years ago in another part of the church, but was removed and placed in its present position. The chancel is separated from the chapel of the Gostwick family by two arches. Under the one nearest the altar is an altar tomb, on three sides of which are painted the arms of Sir John Gostwick, who was Master of the Horse to King Henry VIII, having on the chief three horses' heads couped, which were an allusion to his office, and were substituted for the three golden stars of the Gostwick coat of arms.

On the pier above is a quaint inscription in Latin, which tells us that "This Sir John Gostwyck, erected this work, if, therefore, pious offerings are of any avail, grant, O Father, that he may enjoy an everlasting futurity. 1541." The "work" alluded to evidently refers to the chapel, and not to his tomb, which was erected by his son. In the centre of the chapel is a marble altar tomb, on which rests the recumbent effigy of Sir William Gostwick, one of the first to be created a baronet by King James I. The effigy is of alabaster, life size, in full armour, and painted red and yellow. The hands are folded on the breast in an attitude of prayer, but the fore-fingers, thumbs and little fingers, have been broken off. The alabaster mattress of "basket weave" is very interesting, and seems to give one the idea that Sir William was a man of action. Carved in high relief round the base of the tomb are the emblems of mortality, the skull and cross bones, the hour glass, Time's scythe, and a Bible.

The inscription runs: "Here lieth the bodie of Sir William Gostwick, Baronett, who had to wyfe Jane Owen, the daughter of Henrie Owen, Esquire, by whom he had issue seaven sonnes and fowre daughters. He (with a most Christian resolution, and assured hope of a Joyful Resurrection) departed this lyfe the 19th of September, 1615, in the fiftieth yeare of his age. The Ladie Jane Gostwick, his widdowe, to performe her last dutie and love to the Sacred memorie of her deare husband at her own cost and charges, caused this Monument to be erected." On the other side it says, "Ask who lyeth here and doe not weepe. He is not dead, He doth but sleepe. This stony register is for his bones,

His fame is more perpetuall than theis stones.
And his owne goodness with himself being gone,
Shall live when earthly monuments are none."

Against the north wall is another altar tomb of white stone, with the indent of a brass, now lost, on one side of which are painted the Gostwick arms. Fortunately, however, records have been preserved, and these tell us that the tomb is that of Robert Gostwick, Esq., who died in 1315. High up, projecting from the wall above, is a stone bracket supporting a helmet and crest, of immense weight. Inscribed on a brass plate are these words: "The Helmet of Sir John Gostwick of Willington, Master of the Horse of King Henry VIII, Worn by him at the Field of the Cloth of Gold Tournament, A.D. 1520. This bracket was erected by his descendant, Lieut Colonel Wm Gostwick, 1st A. and S. Highlanders, A.D. 1902." Above this, supported by an iron bracket, is another helmet, surmounted by a crest. This probably belonged to Robert Gostwick. Another relic of the Field of the Cloth of Gold is a curious old vestment, much tattered and torn, suspended over the arch of the chapel. This is a tabard, was embroidered with the coat of arms of the knight, and worn over his armour.

On the north wall of the chapel is a marble mural monument representing Sir Edward Gostwick and his lady, who was the daughter of Sir John Wentworth, Bart., of Gosfield, Essex, kneeling at a Prie Dieu. Sir Edward is clad in armour, with his right hand upon his heart, while his lady is attired in flowing robes, with her hands clasped. Both figures are somewhat plump and broad, but the faces are remarkably good. Below, in high relief, are represented five daughters and three sons, all of whom, with but one exception, are kneeling. The exception is a baby in a cradle, which is enveloped in a pall, with an anchor, for Hope, suspended above. The eldest son was deaf and dumb, and he came into the
