ResTORATION OF CA7.111110 COURCH.—The parish of Can-
ford possesses a very tine old church, distinguished by
specimens of Norman architecture of striking beauty and
perfection. The chancel, which is remarkable for its un-
usual dimensions, the length being somewhat near that of
the nave itself, has Just undergone restoration, Sir Ivor
Bertie Guest, Bart, of t'unford Manor, who is the lay
rector, having with characteristic munificence borne the
expense of the work. So admirably has this been executed
and so excellent is the present appearance of the chancel
that • hope has been fervently expressed Sir Ivor will ere
long give orders for the rest of the structure to be restored
In corresponding style. Mr. David Brandon, the eminent
erchitect, of London, was consulted, and Sir Iver's
steward, Mr. J. W. Laiff, has exercised a very careful
sopervision over the work. Formerly the chancel walls
were plastered, as those of the nave now are, and in that
condition they had anything but a pleasing sheet. Th•
plaster has been re Asi, and the native red sandstone,
~Iwhielt the 111111011v0 walls are composed, is now revealed.
1 he substantial character of the structure is • striking
feature, the walls being several feet in thickness. The fine
Norman arches in the walls of the chancel have been care-
fully preserved. In the south side of the chancel there are
the evidences of the former existence of an aumry : then
there is the hatiion-ope, which in ancient times afforded
tic means of witnessing the elevation of the Host, and in
the chancel wall of the saute aisle is a niche, which mote
contained, it is believed, • figure of the Virgin Mary.
Acconliug to apmwunees this wall was originally in the
exterior of the ceel, the aisle being a subsequent addi-
tion' and while speaking of this part of the edifice it
should he also mentioned a curious old doorway leading to
the rood left has !lose revealed. The north aisle of the
channel seems to have been at one time • charnel house,
end it is possible this may, at some future tune, be the
site of the vestry. A very early stone font is to be seen in
the interior, near the western entrance. The beautiful
cast window of coloured glass and filled in with geometric
tracery perpetuates the memory of the late Sir John Guest,
Kart., a large black marble slab in the south aisle render'
jug the 111/011s service. The chancel is now fitted up with
exquisitely carved ,lakeri stalls; these are in substitution
of the 0111 "horse box " pews. The floor is paved with
Minima tiles. The handsome crimson frontal of the cern.
maiden table bearing the ireek Alpha and Omega, ss ith
the sacred monogram Ills, in the centre, is the sift of
the vicar, the Rev. Dawson Denier. The belfry is at the
west end of the north aisle, and a peal of five bells hie been
rehung. The entire roof of the edifice has been rintoreil
to its original character. A coloured window in the north
Mile of the nave is in memory of Autpstus Quest, and was
greeted hy the lamented deceased • fellow students at
Trinity College. The meanie work underneath and around
the east sinibiw is by Salviati. The work has been in
progress for about nine months, and sufficient has been
Raid to indicate its thoroughly satisfactory character.
