Two steeples; one a Perpendicular tower with a lantern ; this has octagonal turrets at the corners, with buttresses attached below ; the lowest stages of the buttresses are pannelled. A band of quatrefoils runs under the belfry window, which is of three lights, and has a crocketed canopy ; under the band of quatrefoils is a square-headed plain-arched cinquefoiled window. The dripstone of the door runs as a tablet round the buttresses. The base mouldings are of three tablets. The other steeple in this plate is a Decorated tower and spire. The tower has diagonal buttresses of three stages, sloping to the wall, at some distance below the cornice, which is plain. The battlement has small inter- vals, and a horizontal capping. The spire is ribbed at the angles, and has four small windows with plain canopies. The belfry window is of two lights, set upon a plain string, which dies against the buttresses. Below is a small window without a dripstone, and at the bottom a larger one with a dripstone, and set on

a string. The base mouldings have two tablets.
