. A history of Hampshire and the Isle of Wight . the inscription of 1519 quoted above ; the projecting base of the niche issupported by an angel bearing a shield of the arms ofSir John Paulet, with Paulet of Hinton in pretence. The nave roof is modern, but those of the aislespreserve their main 15th or 16th-century timbers ;each is of five bays with principals having archedbraces which are prolonged as curved struts to theprincipals, and pairs of purlins with arched windbraces. The stone corbels to the three roofs arefor the most part carved with angels holding blankshields, the upper members of the corbel having amoulding of early Renaissance character, suggestingan early 16th-century date for the work. Themember is usually square in plan, but the two middlecorbels on each side of the nave are half octagonaland wider than the others. One has a shield instrapwork, the angel being left out. The upper stage of the tower has a stepped em-battled parapet of red brick with stone copings,standing on a moulded cornice with grotesque heads.
