THough I cannot here speake of a generall repaire and beauty, yet I may say for this Church, that the eye of the yeerely Gardians of it is so continualy watchfull over it, that whensoever any part of it stands in need of either or both, they carefully and suddenly bestow it. An instance of this thus followes:

The Steeple of this Church, being very much decayed and perished, was (so farre as they found it needfull) pul∣led downe, and rebuilded with Port∣land stone, beautified with new Bat∣tlements, and a Turret; some part of the Church repaired, and many of the Pewes were new made; as also a new Clocke and Diall (at the cost and charge of the Parishioners) in the yeere of our Lord God 1627.

• Iohn Wooton
• Anthony Ierman
  • Churchwardens.

The charge of all this 415. li.

And but three yeeres before (in the yeere 1624.) was a very faire new Pul∣pit set up, the cost of that (that like∣wise

being the charge of the Parish) 35. li.

• William Wells
• George Graves
  • Churchwardens.

The whole cost of these times 450. li.
