Plain chamfered imposts are almost universal, but it may be noted that in one or two instances Roman worked stones are used for the imposts of these arches. Such is the case at Warden, by the Tyne, Northumberland, and likewise at Alkborough, Lincolnshire, where the jambs of the arch have also Roman moulded stones for a base.

A lodging on the first story of the tower would keep him in touch with the bells, and give him a place of vantage from which to command the altar with its treasures at the other end of the building. In two existing Saxon towers presently to be noticed, Deerhurst and Bosham, there are small apertures in the eastern wall of the tower that were probably intended for the purpose of affording a view in this direction. One of the most co...
