access to the space under the gallery, the mouldings of which (Fig. 1601) clearly indicate a late date. Adjoining this doorway is the portion of the structure above alluded to as being of ancient date. This consists of a plain buttress built with freestone ashlar, and a small part of the south and west walls connected with it, including a base splay on the south side. These walls are built with the same kind of materials as the buttress, while the greater part of the walls are constructed with rubble work. The buttress has the broad form with small projection, and the simple water table of Norman or transition work. The projection or “aisle” on the south side of the church has also contained a private gallery, with a fireplace in the south wall. The mouldings of the doorway indicate seventeenth or eighteenth century work. There are no windows in the north wall, but some portions of the masonry are of ashlar work and may be of the period of the south-west angle. The belfry, the vane of which bears the date of 1794, is a comparatively late addition. It is supported on corbels projecting from the inside of the wall. [Illustration: FIG. 1602.--Terregles Church after Restoration.] [Illustration: FIG. 1603.--Terregles Church before Restoration.] TERREGLES CHURCH, KIRKCUDBRIGHTSHIRE. This curious structure (Fig. 1602) is situated about two and a-half miles north-west from Dumfries. It was erected by the fourth Lord Herries shortly before his death in 1583. A few years ago this “queir” or choir was completely restored, and the buttresses were then added. Omitting these it may be regarded as a fair example of the quaint architecture of James VI.’s time, when the revival of Gothic was attempted, along with the revival of Episcopacy. [Illustration: FINIALS ON CORNERS OF CHANCEL AGNES LADY HERRIES FIG. 1604.--Terragles Church. Details of Finials and Coat of Arms of Agnes, Lady Herries.] We are fortunate in being able to show a drawing (Fig. 1603) of the church made by the late Mr. W. F. Lyon, architect, in 1872, before it was restored. Fig. 1604 shows details of the finials and the arms of Agnes, Lady Herries, which are carved on the church. The date 1585 is cut in the cornice over the east window. Before the Reformation this church belonged to the nunnery of Lincluden, and the collegiate church which succeeded it.
