Page 183:-
Of this 'Christopher wood' we can learn nothing; but the 'true
ownership' has passed into other hands, and this porch is used,

SOUTHERN ENTRANCE.
The Piscina (of which an illusttration is given in a subsequent
page) - in the niche of one of the pillars of the south side of
the choir - was till lately occupied by
A - BOX - FOR - THE - POORE
- now placed by the Font. Seldom it is that this Box is put to
its proper purpose: but Canning - then the Premier - looking
through the Church, as he was on his way for the last time
towards Storrs Hall, was observed to drop into it an offering,
which proved to be a guinea.
