ones late in the twelfth century. The chancel is square-ended. The windows are of a very large size, and about equally splayed without and within, and had wood frames for the glass, the grooves for which were quite distinct (Fig. 210). The main doorway seems to have been that on the south side. It has stone jambs of long and short work running square through the wall, the door having been hung against the inner surface. The arch is of brick, and a pilaster strip flanked it on either side and ran round the arch. Similar, on a small scale, was a ruined doorway, found in the north transept, and now restored precisely to its original form. Similar, also, are the windows of the tower, which were treated like doorways, with a shutter within. At the west end stands the ancient Roman pharos, from which was a communication to the church, both on the floor-level and also above. The latter had a doorway in a very perfect state (Fig. 211), which opened into a western gallery, of which I found the holes for the insertion of the timbers. Beneath this gallery, on either side, was a small window, which, for want of room for an arch, was made square-headed, with splayed wooden lintels, of which the exact impressions of the ends were found, giving its precise form.[6] [Illustration: Fig. 210.] [Illustration: Fig. 211.--Upper Western Door, Castle-hill Church, Dover.] The tower arches have the pilaster strips on either side, and continuing round the arches. Each has a stone impost with very abnormal mouldings (Fig. 212). [Illustration: Fig. 212.--Eastern Tower Arch, Castle-hill Church, Dover.] [Illustration: Fig. 213. Saxon Balusters.] Several very curious balusters of Caen stone were found among the ruins (Fig. 213). They appear from their freshness to have been always _internal_, and, I fancy, formed parts of a screen under the western arch of the tower, of which some foundations apparently remain. Externally, the quoins are partly of Roman brick and partly of long and short work, with very large stones. This is, perhaps, the most nearly complete of all our pre-Norman churches. There is no clue to its date. Some call it a British church: some say that it was built by Eadbald, the son of Ethelbert, about 640, and others that it is of a much later period, to which opinion I confess that I incline.[7] [Illustration: Fig. 214.--Worth Church, Sussex.] [Illustration: Fig. 215.--Plan, Worth Church.] [Illustration: Fig. 216.
