Notes
Dance may have had help from his father in making this and the following drawing; the titles and scales seem to be in the elder Dance's hand.
The cross-vaulted ceiling is shown and also, unusually for a small building, the east/west internal wall that was needed to stiffen a structure built on poor ground. The main body of the church is 85 feet 8 inches long, excluding the east apse and west tower, and 33 feet wide. Pencil hatching blocks in the eastern window.
