The 15th Century
During this period the two original small lancet windows in the north wall of the nave were replaced by larger two-light square headed windows, together with a third on the south side. This latter window does not now exist but is shown in the eastern part of the south wall of the nave, in an engraving of 1801. The octagonal font is also a 15th century feature and each of its sides is decorated by a sunken trefoiled panel.
Late in the 15th century, the roofs of the nave and chancel were renewed in segmental pointed barrel form and still remain. That to the nave is somewhat higher, the junction being supported by an arch shaped timber beam springing from wall corbels with pendants. Both roofs are plastered and divided into panels by timber ribs with carved and painted bosses at the intersections.
The bosses over the chancel are all decorated with foliage and interlaced ornament, but those of the nave include additionally three linked rabbits or coneys, the five wounds of the passion and the crown of thorns, the sacred monogram IHS, a red rose and crowned initials ER. The latter two devices must, therefore, indicate that the roof was constructed during the reign of Edward IV (1461-83).
