. The Victoria history of the county of Bedford. Natural history. Radcliffi. Urgent Dklme. Or an anchor a croulet gules between "*'' befween two Horn three hendi engrailed passant gules, sable 'with a label and a quarter sable and a cross- let or upon the quarter, death in 1390, left a daughter Amicia wife of John de Kyrkham,*" Jaut it has not been found possible to trace the descent of this property further. The church of ST. PETER was en- CHURCH tirely rebuilt in 1877 in fourteenth- century style, and consists of a chancel 19 ft. by 16 ft. 6in. ; nave 38 ft. by 18 ft. 6 in., south aisle z6 ft. 6 in. by I oft. 6 in., and south porch with a small tower over. A few pieces of old work have been re-used, the most interesting being the string across the inner face of the east wall of the chancel. This is of fourteenth- century date and has a hollow chamfer on the under side. At the north end is a grotesque beast with a long snout, and closed wings ; out of its mouth issues a wavy stem on which at irregular intervals are set ball flowers, human heads, and leaves. In the north wall of the nave a fifteenth-century piscina head has been reset with modern jambs, &c. ; it was probably cinquefoiled, but only a piece of the middle foil remains. The doorway on the north side of the nave is also of fifteenth-century date with a four-centred arch. The details of the modern work call for little de- scription. The chancel has an east window of three lights, two single-light windows on the south, and one on the north. The chancel arch is of two chamfered orders springing from short corbelled shafts, and the nave has a south arcade of two bays, and a west window of three trefoiled lights with tracery over. The east window of the aisle is a single trefoiled light and in the south wall are two square-headed windows, one of two and the other of three trefoiled lights. There is a doorway at the west end of the aisle, in addition to those north and south of the nave. The only
