Fig.C61 Barmer Church - exterior west end of north aisle (with old wall stub) 081011 (OAA 9197).
Note the wall stub from the early C19 blinding of the arcade (to a thickness comparable with that of the original Medieval walls), here
encased in (although left standing slightly proud from) the late C19 rebuilding on the north aisle but otherwise completely removed; the
stone capping of the stub seems to belong to the latter rebuilding. The massive stub was no doubt retained primarily as a ‘buttress’ for
the tower but the fact that Preedy allowed this feature to remain so obvious (it would have been simple to ‘merge’ the flintwork on the
facing and blur the ‘join’) seems to indicate that he saw merit in preserving this item of the archaeological record. The apparent fabric
(dressed flint and stone quoins) of the aisle is identical to that of the chancel, rebuilt at the same time.

Fig.C62 Barmer Church - exterior west window in north aisle 081011 (OAA 9204).
The dressed flintwork holds what looks, at first sight, like an old window surround and tracery; the same effect is seen on the exterior of
the east window of the aisle (Fig.C69), causing the (1953) List text and Pevsner & Wilson (2000) to attribute a C14 (fourteenth century)
date. However, judging from the detail (and especially the interior detail, cf. Figs. C25-34), these windows are of the same age as the
ones on the northern side of the aisle, the critical difference being that the latter are protected by the eaves, whilst the gable windows
(lacking even hood-moulds) are exposed to greater weathering. The choice of a softer stone, in which to accomplish the tracery, would
explain why the exposed aisle windows are weathered, whilst the similarly exposed (but very simple) east windows of the contemporary
chancel are still quite crisp. The design elements of the tracery and surround (including the strictly symmetrical quoin pattern) are
common to the whole set of five aisle windows.

Note the contrast between the protected and harder-stone surround of the chancel window and the weathered stonework of the
unprotected aisle window. Note also the condition of the exposed aisle corner quoin (right), which seems to be in a relatively hard
stone.

Fig.C72 Barmer Church - exterior from the northeast 081011 (OAA 9222).
Every part of the church that can be seen from this angle dates from the C19. Note the cross at the east end. This marks the grave of
James David Home (Priest) 1853-1939. Flanking this are the graves of his wife Sarah (died 1919) and his sister Annie Katherine Home
(1861-1945). The fact that not even Sarah’s grave can be seen on the photograph in Fig.C19 gives a terminus ante quem.

Fig.75 Barmer Church - exterior from the westsouthwest 081011 (OAA 9228).
This angle affords the maximum exterior view of the surviving Medieval fabric (lying very approximately below the dotted line and
ignoring further recent patching). In addition to the three Home graves at the east end, there are twelve recognisable graves to the
southwest of the church (some in view here) which are all C20 (1919-1975); there are some stone edgings under the ground ivy in this
area hinting at additional recent graves. The only marked late C19 graves are immediately south of the nave (cf. Fig.C20): the cross of
Mary Anne (d. 1893 aged 79, daughter of Samuel Kerslake), the cross of Reginald William Bannell (d.1900 aged 11) and a nearby
corroded small (child’s) marker presumed to be of similar age. There are no marked burials anywhere else in the churchyard and the
ground appears generally levelled.
