I THE WALLS OF CHURCHES.

305 In St. Sepulchre's cliurch, at Caiii])ridge, there are small Squints on each side of the chancel-arch, which were formerly tilled with Perpendicular tracery now destroyed. Occasionally the Squints are carried through the side walls of the chancel, either from the sacristy, or from chantry chapels: a good example with a trefoiled head occurs at Bishop's Sut- ton, Hampshire, another in the chapel at Sudeley. In Kenton church, Devonshire, there is a very good example near the ALL SAINTS', KENTON, DEVONSHIRE. end of the north aisle, through the north w^all of the chancel, passing in the usual oblique direction towards the high altar. The opening from the aisle has a trefoil head, and forms part of the panelling of a pier, in the side wall of the chancel the opening is plain and square, passing through the wall in a very oblique direction. Sometimes also from the priest's room over the vestry, as at Warminoton, Warwickshire. Or this room may have been the residence of a recluse, called a "Domus inclusi." There are many of them remaining in " Overhead were two cliambers which common tradition hath told to have been the habitation of a devout lady, called Agnes, or Dame Agnes, out of whose lodg- ing chamber there was a hole made askew in the window, walled up, having its pros- pect just upon the altar in the ladies' chapel and no more."
