of the north aisle was used as a schoolroom; for a Day School before 1793; the Sunday School was begun by the Vicar, the Rev. W. Kendall, in 1817.

The large east window is the work of Messrs. Powell and Sons, and was given in A.D. 1871 by Mrs. Strickland in remembrance of her husband. A description of this window is given in the note.*

On the north side of the Sacrarium is a fine old brass, of which the date is about A.D. 1530, to the memory of Sir Marmaduke Constable (p. 85). It is now fixed in an upright position above the altar tomb to

These subjects were chosen with reference to the chief occupation of the inhabitants of Flamborough, as were also those in the lights of the tracery. In the larger ones are angels with scrolls, on which are written the well-known lines :

For those in peril on the sea ;"

which it belongs. The inscription is given on page 85. Underneath the tomb is a vault 5ft. Ioin. long, and Sir Marmaduke was called "The Little." Upon the tomb (loose) is a curious stone fragment of a human figure. It is thus referred to in Torre's manuscript:"In the N. Quire lyes upon a table of stone the skeliton of Sir Marmaduke Constable ye Little at whose heart is a lump of flesh like a toad, and at his feet a brass plate ingraven with this epitaph." This is the brass above mentioned. There is a curious old legend that Sir Marmaduke, whilst drinking some water, swallowed a toad, which ate his heart away, so that he died.

In the vestry is a large picture of our Blessed Lord talking with the Doctors in the Temple. The picture is interesting to residents because it was painted by Robert Brown, of London, a native of Flamborough, who presented it to the Church A.D. 1829. It was first

* The organ is by Messrs. Radcliffe and Sagar, of Leeds, and was dedicated on Thursday, August 24th, 1871, by the Archdeacon of the East Riding, the Ven. R. F. L. Blunt, who is now the Bishop of Hull. It cost nearly £300, which was obtained by subscriptions, sales of work, etc., by the Rev. J. F. Wilkinson, the Vicar at that time.

The twelve light corona was given by Mrs. Upton Cottrell Dormer.

The brass eagle lectern was given by the Ogle family and inhabitants of Flamborough in memory of the late John B. Ogle.

Four frontals, brass cross, brass alms dish (given in 1876 by Mr. John Preston, of Flamborough), credence table, two brass sevenbranched candlesticks (given in 1875 by Mrs. Upton Cottrell Dormer), brass font jug, and other gifts have been presented in recent years.

placed below the east window, but was removed to its present position at the restoration.

In the vestry floor may be noticed the marble slab of an altar tomb in memory of Mrs. Melchior Gibbon, and of her son, Mr. Melchior Gibbon, who bequeathed to the poor of Flamborough the "Gibbon Dole" (cf. Appendix).

If we now cross into the south aisle of the chancel, we shall find several mural monuments, and some flat stones belonging to the Ogle family, dating from 1628. There is also an altar tomb which once had a brass round the border of it; but the brass has been removed and is lost. The tomb is supposed to be in memory of one of the Constables.

Close to this tomb is the old parish chest. It is in excellent preservation, and one of its three old padlocks is globular.

The east window of this aisle was given by Miss Cottrell Dormer, A.D. 1873, in memory of Colonel Strickland. For this and the other painted glass windows those who wish can refer to the note.*

In the south wall of this aisle is an unusually large piscina, of rectangular pattern. The late Vicar told me that the stone now placed at the top of the piscina is Isaid to have been the head of a Priest's door in the old Church. Before the restoration the piscina was 5 or 6 feet more to the west.

The piscina reminds us of the altars which were formerly in the Church. There were three at least, probably more. Two are mentioned in Burton's Monasticon Eboracense, one dedicated to St. Thomas, the other to St. Mary Magdalen, for the support of which gifts were made by Robert le Constable, of Flaynburg. In the will of Marmaduke Constable, A.D. 1376, two altars are also mentioned, one to St. Mary and one to St. Katherine.*

It is not surprising therefore that a second piscina was found during the restoration under the seating on the south side of the Church. It was a round one, about a

There were also before the restoration two brackets of stone in the south aisle of the chancel, one at the east end and one on the south side: and in the wall of the north aisle of the nave under the easternmost window was an ambry or cupboard, which is now plastered

over.

There was also formerly a board fixed to the wall just inside the south door on which was painted "The Dance of Death." It was removed during the incumbency of the Rev. J. F. Ogle.

It only remains to add that above the chancel arch was formerly some embossed and coloured plaster work, representing trees and fruit with a crest (some say the Strickland crest, the turkey) in the centre: and that the walls of the Church were once painted and ornamented with scroll work and texts of scripture. It is interesting in this connection to notice the extracts from the registers for the years 1632 to 1635 (p. 29). the decoration of the walls is the explanation of the "beautifyed ye Church" there mentioned. Certainly the Church was cared for during those years. Its decorated fabric and magnificent screen, and better still its Sacraments and Worship and Almsgiving would be a pleasing contrast to the ruined tower outside.

These entries in the registers tell a goodly tale in connection with the fallen steeple, and emphasize the truth of the record (page 13), "the towne being poore and not able to build the same." The times were different from those when the Constables flourished at
