HAVINGheard,-andreadin Suckling'sSufolk, suchaccounts ofthis remarkableecclesiasticalrelic,as stimulatedwithout satisfyingmy curiosity,I availedmyselfin the summer of the year 1857, of an opportunityof visitingit in company with the late Mr. John B. Scott, of Bungay,and I have great pleasurein laying beforethe Membersof the Arch- ological Societiesof SuffolkandNorfolk,the noteswhich I havemadeuponit, with such elucidationsasI have heen able to obtainsince. The extremelysecludedsituationofthe OldMinster,first requiresnotice. Few persons,evenamongstthosewhoare interestedin architecturalarchaaology,areawareof its ex- istence; and mostofthosewhodoknowthat there is such a ruin, have beenmadeawareof it by the occurrence.ofits nameon the large county maps,or by the account of it containedin Suckling's History of the County. It standssomewhatto the southofthe middleofa nearly squareprecinct,whichisknownby the nameofthe Minster Yard.* The area ofthis precinct,I was informedby Mr. The accompanyingplanof the Old and the Rev. C. R. Manning,has been Minsterand MinsterYard,froma survey liberallyengravedat their cost;fortheuse madeby Mr. Alger,of Diss,for the Ven- ofthe Institute. erableArchdeaconLordArthur Hervey, VOL. IV. 2 THE OLD MINSTER, SOUTH ELMHAM. GeorgeDurrant, is aboutthree acresand a half; and it is surroundedby a lowhank and a shallowmoat,which are nowplanted,soas to screenthe ruin very effectuallyfrom the eyesofthe fewpassers by. It is about 45 yardsfrom the southside,and 65yardsfromthe northside; its distance fromthe east and west sides,are 45 and 40 yards respec- tively.. Its orientationis nearly N. E. by E. The ruin itself is 104 feet in extreme length, and the extremebreadthofit is 33feet. It consistsofthreedistinct parts : the first, at the westernend, is 26 feet in length, with oneopeningfor a great west door,and two openings for windowson eachside; it communicateswiththe second part by means of two doorways,the jamb between them being oppositethe westerndoor,and makingit impossible for a spectatorto see through the buildingto the eastern end. The length ofthis part is 38 feet; and it had three windowson eachside. It is almost open into the third part, there beingno trace of any other divisionthan what may have served as the piers to a wide arch. This third. part is apsidalin figure,and is 2611.-feetin length from the arch to the trace.ofthe outer edgeof the apse. The walls are mostperfectin the western compartment,and on the south side,wherethq areabout 18 feet high. The form ofthe chancelalonecanbe traced,no wallsremain. In these three parts we cannot fail to recognize the chancel,the nave, and what was not•a very commonap- pendageto smallchurches—thegalilee. Mr. John Henry Parker, oneofourmostlearnedecclesiasticalarchologists (whose useful work on the Architectural Topography of Sufolk, is doubtlesswell known to the Membersof these Societies,althoughit doesnot contain any mention of the Old Minster),has directedmy attentionto the old church of LlantwitMajor,in Glamorganshire,asan exampleof a similarplan; the churchof St.Woollos,inMonmouthshire, affordsanother instance; and to comenearer home,the churchat Gillingham,in Norfolk,isconstructedinthe same manner.
