wall and one in the south wall (Fig. 1362), each of which is square-headed, and the outer jambs and lintel have a double splay. The doorway, which is in the south wall, has also a square lintel and a bold bead and hollow round the opening. In the interior of the north wall there is an arched recess 8 feet in length by 2 feet in depth, which may have contained a monument, or may have been an Easter sepulchre. The east wall has two recesses, one of which may have contained a piscina, while the other (Fig. 1363) is an ambry of an ornamental character, but evidently of very late date. There is also a window in this wall placed at a very high level, and out of the centre (see Fig. 1362). The gables are finished with crowsteps, and on the south skew putts there are shields [Illustration: FIG. 1363.--Chapel at the Kirkton of Kilmahew. Ambry In East Wall.] (Fig. 1364), that at the south-west end containing the sacred monogram I. H. S., and that at the south-east end the initials M. C. In the east gable, which has a set-off above the wall-head, there is a window placed so as to light an upper room in the roof, which probably formerly existed. The nave measures 34 feet 7 inches in length by 19 feet 8 inches in width over the walls, which are thinner than those of the choir. There is a doorway in the west end, and the enclosure contains some flat monuments lying on the ground, which commemorate some of the Napiers of Kilmahew and Buchanans of Drum (1789-80). This enclosure probably occupies the [Illustration: FIG. 1364.--Chapel at the Kirkton of Kilmahew. South Skew Putts.] site of the original nave, but the wall appears to have been rebuilt. There was apparently a nave in existence in 1640, as it was the chapel “bewest the quir” which Robert Napier then agreed to give as a school. [Illustration: FIG. 1365.--Canonby Priory. Sedilia.] CANONBY PRIORY, DUMFRIESSHIRE. “Some remains of this canonry were, until recently, visible at Halgreen.... A portion of the ancient church (the sedilia) may be seen in the churchyard.”[171] This priory was founded during the reign of David I. by Turgot de Rossendal, near the junction of the Esk and Liddel, and was destroyed by the English after the battle of Solway Moss in 1542. The annexed illustration (Fig. 1365) shows the only fragment that survives. It is probably of thirteenth century work (but was omitted in Vol. II.) The priory, as the residence of the canons, became known as Canonbie. KIRKBRYDE CHURCH, DUMFRIESSHIRE.[172] A ruin situated five or six miles south-east from Sanquhar. The church (Fig. 1366) measures 42 feet 4 inches in length by 14 feet 6 inches wide inside. [Illustration: FIG. 1366.--Kirkbryde Church. Plan.] There is a north chapel, measuring about 10 feet by 9 feet 3 inches, opening into the church by a round arch.
