    Everything within brackets [ ] will be understood as explanatory interpolations by the Editor. The following particulars of the Church are taken from “The History and Antiquities of the County of Surrey,” by Manning and Bray, vol. ii, p. 57a (London, 1809) :— “The Church Is built with flints, having a slender tower at the West end, in which are two bells; it is finished with a spire shingled. There is a South porch, in each side of which is a small window. The Church consists of a Nave and Chancel, with North and South Aisles extending the length of the Nave only, separated by obtuse arches. The Chancel is wainscoted and has lancet windows. In the East window is the Triangle symbol of the Trinity. No other painted glass.” The old view of the Church is taken from a water-colour painting, circa 1770, kindly lent by F. S. Howard, Esq., the present Rector’s Warden; and the later view is from Cracklow's “ Churches and Chapels in Surrey,” 1824. Thanks are tendered to the late Rector, The Rev. C. R. Shaw-Stewart, M.A. (now Rector of Cowden, Kent), and also to the present Rector, The Rev. C. E. Graham Jones, M.A., for their kindness and the facilities afforded the Editor in making the transcript, and to the latter for allowing the Registers to be printed. Thanks are also due to A. W. H. Clarke, Esq., for his compilation of the Indexes. The Lindens, Croydon, 1908.
