The chancel extends from the eastern end of the nave, and is 20 feet on a side; a narrow glazed window is set in each of its outside walls. |
Within the nave, the dark flagstone floor and dark roof beams contrast strongly with the whitewashed walls and four stained glass windows. This room (57 feet long by 47 feet wide) is nearly filled with two dozen rough benches. In the middle of the west wall, a rope hangs down from the ceiling to within five feet of the floor -- this rings the bell. One each side of the bell rope, a stone bench 12 feet long has been build along the wall; these are used by the lord of the manor and his family. Overhead, a web of tie-beams, king posts, and struts supports the roof; a small amount of carving can be seen on some of the timbers. In the middle of the east wall is a 10 foot wide arched opening, leading to the chancel. | Within the nave, the dark flagstone floor and dark roof beams contrast strongly with the whitewashed walls and four stained glass windows.

Unfortunately, he recently made a "trick" cattle deal with a peasant in ''-SOME OTHER VILLAGE-'' whose lord was willing to push the Sherrif to action.
