. The Victoria history of the county of Lancaster;. Natural history. A HISTORY OF LANCASHIRE removed, the nave re-seated, and the roofs opened out, the interior then assuming its present appearance. The walls are of rubble masonry with ashlar dressings, finishing with a plain ashlar parapet to the aisles and chapel, but the chancel and nave roofs, which are of flat pitch, have overhanging eaves. The chancel roof is slightly lower than that of the nave, and their east gables being unmarked by a cross or other apex stone, an appearance of flatness is pro- duced. The external appearance of the church has no doubt lost much of its distinction by the removal of the old higher-pitched roofs. The chancel is 36 ft. 9 in. long by 19 ft. 3 in. in width, and has a five-light pointed window with perpendicular tracery, moulded jambs and head, and external hood mould with carved terminations. The line of the 15th-century roof shows on the exterior of the gaole, the east wall of the 18 11 clearstory walling. The north aisle, which ii 12 ft. 10 in. wide, is the full length of the chancel, and it lighted by two three-light pointed windows with perpendicular tracery on the north side and a similar one at the east end. Below the east window, close to the floor level, is a square-headed opening, now built up, 19 in. high by 6\ in. wide, splaying to 1 ft. 9 in. inside, the sill of which is 2 ft. 4 in. above the ground on the outside, the purpose of which ii not clear. On the south side of the chancel it 1 6 ft. length of wall containing a piscina with trefoil head and projecting bowl moulded on the underside, and beyond an arcade of two pointed arches of two chamfered orders springing from an octagonal pier with moulded capital and base, and from semi-octagonal responds. On the east wall to the south of the chancel window is a moulded corbel or bracket 11 in. deep, square on plan, with a four-leaved flower. Plan of Garstanc Church being simply built above it.
