Returning to the Chancel and Sanctuary from the Vestry, there are two interesting features in front of you – the Sedilia and the Squint window.
In the south wall within the Sanctuary is a Sedilia, a stone seat for the clergy. At its present level one can imagine that it would have been very uncomfortable to use. In fact, since it was used, the level of the Chancel has been raised. This was probably at the time of the Reverend King’s restoration.
In the south-west wall is a small window or “squint” pierced into the buttress of the Tower. Its unusual shape leads to the suggestion that it may have been a window for the dispensing of alms or bread to the poor or to lepers. It is so placed to provide a clear view of the altar from the churchyard. The stained glass picture is of Saint Laud.
