The chancel was entirely rebuilt andenlarged about 1250, being made equal in width tothe nave ; the aisles were perhaps widened at thesame time, and again rebuilt in the 14th century,being lengthened eastward. Late in the 15th centurya west tower was built outside the west end of thechurch, probably to the west of an earlier tower,which was then destroyed and the nave arcades andaisles carried westward to join the new tower. Thechancel also was lengthened eastward, perhaps at thistime; the eastern quoins are, however, of 13th-centurymasonry, and being numbered are clearly re-used Plan of Overton Church At an early date there was also another holding inQUIDHAMPTON sometimes called a manor. In1281 Martin Senche granted a life-interest in themanor of Quidhampton and two messuages, 126^ acresof meadow and 7 acres of wood in Polhampton andAshe to Robert de Ynmore and Joan his wife,7 andcen years later recovered his seisin of common ofpasture in Quidhampton belonging to his freetenement in that vill from Walter de Derneford andJoan his wife, William Cotenays, Walter Garlik andRoger de It seems likely that thistenement was subsequently purchased by the Syfre-wasts and then followed the same descent as themanor of Quidhampton, for in 1346 Roger Syfrewastwas returned as holding half a knights fee inQuidhampton which had belonged to Walter deDerneford,19 and it is probable either that MartinSenche had originally acquired the property fromWalter de Derneford or that it subsequently passedto Walter from Martin.
