Its dedi- cation is to St. Gabriel : iag^^s iP§ ms^^ W($>w§w ^n^susf/g^ besides which it bears the Royal arms of the Tudors, together with a cross, curiously inscribed : These " Gabriel Bells " are invariably ancient and therefore rare. A special significance was attached to their use, for in mediaeval times all persons having any religious pretensions repeated the words of Gabriel at least once a day — Jve Maria, gratia plena, benedicta tu in mulieribus, et henedictus fructus ventris tui — an...d " a special bell was often set apart to be rung at those hours on which good Christians were expected to say their Ave Maria. "' In general appearance the church is characteristically late Perpendicular, but the north wall of the nave consists of rough masonry built around three Early English columns, relics of a north aisle arcade of the original church. Between nave and chancel a buttress-like projection contains the former rood-loft staircase, and above the east end of the chancel rises a charming little gabled crucifix, wonderful in having escaped Puritan iconoclasts.
