. The Victoria history of the county of Hertford. Natural history. 174™ Century eumo dern 10 20 30 Scale of Feett Plan of Stocking Pelham Church south porch, all the dimensions being internal. The walls are of flint with stone dressings, except the east wall of the chancel, which is of brick. Parts of the walls are cemented ; the nave roof is slated and the chancel roof tiled. The north walls of chancel and nave are in the same plane, the extra width of the nave being all on the south side. The earliest details belong to the middle of the 14th century, and as work of that period exists on the north and south walls of both chancel and nave it is not easy to determine the steps by which the church arrived at its present somewhat unusual plan. It is probable, however. that a small earlier building existed, the walk of which were partly made use of in the 14th century. That the additional width on the south side of the nave was never an aisle seems evident, as the west window is central and the north and south walls arc of equal height. In 1864 the east and part of the south walls were rebuilt in brick. In the east wall of the chancel is a modem three- light traceried window. In the north wall is a single-light window with cinquefoiled head and with wave-moulded inner jambs and arch ; it is of mid-14th-century date. In the same wall is a door- way of clunch, which appears to have been the entrance to a former vestry, as the rear arch is on the outside. In the south wall is a window of two lights under a square head, with tracery of 14th-century date ; it has been repaired with cement. Adjoining it is a south doorway, now blocked. The chancel arch is a modern one of wood. The nave has a mid-14th-century north window of two lights with flowing tracery, partly restored ; the blocked north doorway is of the same date, but much of the stonework is modern. In the south wall are two windows of modern stonework, each of two lights with tracery of 14th-century chara
