Note to 145-146: The rebuilding of the church was ordered on 14 March 1681 (GL, MS 25540/1, fol. 60). The crudely drawn plan (145) includes chamfered corners at the E end, regularised in the executed building. The section likewise differs from the executed building: the barrel vault above the chancel is supported on Doric pilasters rather than hanging consoles. The church was destroyed in 1941 (Colvin 1995, 1097).
