of seven windows of two cinquefoiled lights in four-centred heads on each side, is of 15th-century date. The north and south aisles have windows of similar detail each with three cinquefoiled lights in a four-centred head, all of about 1500, and the north and south doorways are of the same date. The blue marble hexagonal font of about 1200 was found about 1844 buried below the floor of the aisle. It has a circular central shaft and six angle shafts. The 15th-century oak lectern has a steep double rotating desk, supported on a square stem with four traceried buttresses surmounted by figures of the evangelists. It has been restored. On it are the Paraphrase of Erasmus and Comber on the Book of Common Prayer. The latter still has a chain attached to it. West tower There seems to have been an intention to build a west tower early in the 16th century. John Lawrence, the last Abbot of Ramsey, by his will dated 29 February 1537–38, directed that £13 6s. 8d. should be paid "towards the building a stepull in the parish church of Ramsey when the town will build it". The town at that time seems to have built only "a low wooden steeple". In 1672 the wooden steeple collapsed and was replaced by the present west tower, built with material taken from the monastic buildings. The tower is of four stages, with embattled parapet and crocketed pinnacles at the angles. The tower arch is two-centred, with semi-cylindrical responds, having two attached shafts, scalloped capitals and moulded bases. The west doorway is also of 12th-century material, re-set, probably, from the original west doorway. Over the doorway on the outside in a panel is the inscription "Take heed, watch and pray for ye know not when the time is. S. Mar. 13, 33". In the west wall of the second stage is a 15th-century window of two cinquefoiled lights re-set, over which, in the third stage, is another window made from re-set material. In the bellchamber is a window in each wall, made up from 12th-century and 13th-century material and a 12th-century string course re-used. A beam of the bell frame bears the inscription, "1672 Nevill Jones et Thomas Wallis, churchwardens". There are said to have been four bells before the building of the tower in 1672, hung in a low wooden steeple. These four bells were, with some additional
