[144] The lines on south side of tower show foundations now exposed,
and a built-up door in south wall of tower is not shown, being
apparently not original.

[149] From a drawing in the possession of Mr. David Douglas, publisher.
[150] The sketch is a very slight and hurried one, and is not at
all finished in detail; but it is enough, when taken with the other
drawings, to enable a fair idea to be formed of the completed church.
The tower has had a clock dial, placed so as to conceal the south
windows. The traceried windows of the south aisle of the nave are
indicated, along with the lintelled doorway and a raised window, which
may have been over an outside stair in connection with a gallery. The
east window of the aisle is shown built up, with a square shuttered
window inserted where the mullions formerly were, and the small window
above has been enlarged for light to the gallery. The view of the
chancel is particularly interesting, this part of the church having now
almost disappeared. In the choir a mullioned window of three lights
is shown above the sedilia, and a small door is knocked through the
latter. The east end is shown lighted by three simple lancet windows.
[151] We are greatly indebted to the Rev. Mr. Thomson, Dunning, for
assistance in regard to this church.
